While I'm not sure what you mean by twitching. I always start with my water parameters when attempting to diagnose a problem. That may give you the answer to your problem.

Also if you are seeing anything on the fish, like a worm or something strange.

the water parameters are good. tankmates are an orino from rapps, and 2 silver dollars. the temp is around 86-88. i also notice a couple worms that dont look like planera and they swim in a spiral motion.

what are you feeding them? feeders?

 

[mthao105]

yea im feeding them feeders

if there is worm's in the tank. feed 1/2 the amount of food and do a 50% water change. add salt to help with slime coat.

FEEDERS!! rosy reds are your best bet. Try and QT them before you feed them to your bass. try to get them off feeders ASAP.
