RED TAIL PAYARA HELP!!!

[ColeFishing]

My RTP is spazzing out. Today I had to move my tank into my bathroom because the floor is being ripped out and I put my fish into a 60 gallon tub with 50 gallons of old tank water put into it. When I had filled the tank back up with about 50 gallons old tank water and 25 gallons of new water I had moved the fish from the tub to the tank. My RTP spazzed out and swam around in tight circles with his nose facing down. Now he is just laying on the bottom. Not to mention my four line pim was doing the same thing. And I remembered to add prime.

Sorry bro. I had a heater flip out and I cooked my red tail payara this week. Sucked...

just a bit spooked and stressed out. turn off the lights of the room for a few days or just simply cover the tank with a black cloth or background. Works for me.

When I took the sand out of my tank, my scomb did the same thing. He was attacking his reflection. After a day or two, he learned to ignore it. I noticed my scomb would only start attacking his reflection when he passed over the non-painted part that was highly reflective. He wouldn't do it when he was over the black painted part that didn't reflect as well.

Turn off the lights for a day or two. You could also add a little aquarium salt. Other than that just time.
