Hello my dear friends before 2 days I did water change as usual but this time I ad just a small dose of salt because I see some damage in my piranhas from fighting and 1 of them scrub in gravel.
What I see 2 days now is a almost scared group take a tetitory each to defend and not playing, swimming or anything like the normal and great behaviour that I was having not play with my fingers in front of a glass and many other things that I don't like... Last day they don't move at all each of its place...
So I am thinking to make another water change to take tha salt out of gravel tomorrow or today with same temperature and bacteria and contitioner water but I would like to ask you is it possible or we will run more problems since I will change almost 40% in total and not 20 25 as I always do?
Is osmotic stress possible or kill any beneficial bacteria or stop eating again?
I already have a fully cycling sponge filter.
