i have allway found the micros are allways jumpy and hate water changes ,esp when doing large changes ,i do think they get stressed , your asiatica is probably not bothered because it actually prefers the cooler water of the water change , i agree with downunder just try and be a bit gentaler with the changes , see if you can match the temp closer of the water you change , remember your micro is allready towards the lowest temp he will be comfortable at 24deg and if changing water with cold water this will drop the tank temp to below what he is comfortable with, hence he is getting stressed , maybe mix your water in a bucket at 24deg first then pour into tank . iam sure your micro will be ok as he is now at the size when they become much less fragile and can take a lot more than a juvie micro can
let us know how you get on

tjena mannen..
det att du kör från kranen ska inte spela så stor roll.. du kan ju köra i lite vad det nu heter-medel för att ta bort ex klor..
om du kör i kallare vatten är det inte så konstigt att han reagerar. då försöker han ju ta sig någonstans där det är varmare.
benthopelagic; potamodromous (Ref. 51243); freshwater; depth range 100 ? m Climate: tropical; 25 28°C
även om det inte är stor skillnad så brukar de ju oftast trivas bättre i de högre temperaturerna..
jag hade aldrig några som helst problem med min.. han var lite nojig första gången men sen var det bra.. ormhuvuden gillar ju oftast inte heller stora vattenbyten.
