I bought a group of Satanoperca Daemon and they were doing fine in my 29 gallon for a couple weeks but I felt as if they should be in my 110 gallon. So I moved them and they started acting weird... Their fins never opened or flared and they only make repetitive small movements as if they are having trouble swimming. So I did a good water change in my 29 and I moved them back but now they are staying up in the corner acting the same way. They are eating but they don't look too good. What should I do? Feedback is greatly appreciated, thanks.
So I have a problem..

You could try and add some salt. If they have clamped fins it could mean that the water parameters are different than what they came from. The salt could help with stress. You could also try Melafix...it also helps with stress, plus it helps the slime coat.
Clown loaches, other geophagus and satanoperca sp., baby NTT, Leopard Ctenopoma, a couple plecos, and a BGK.
I was thinking that might be the problem so I guess I didn't acclimate well enough.
I tried aquarium salt already and it hasn't done much.
Maybe melafix. Thanks Jason.
