I have got one 5 inch temensis in a group of 10(similar size) which seems to have the disco vibes, it is swaying side to side, looks like it's dancing and in dark coloration, but when food is being thrown in, he rushes to devour and then goes back into his disco moods, definetely don't look right to me, but the rest of the PBs are fine, experts please help....
Temensis needs help
- Thread starter Amok
- Start date
No signs of external infection on the bugger, his voracious appetite doesn't give a hint of internal infection,it's not getting picked on by it's mates either, thought of separating him, but then again solitary confinement might stress him even further...hmmm, thanks for the advice fellas
This can be common with the "low man" on the totem pole.
You said he does not get picked on? hmm.
Can you possibly get me a picture?
What size is the tank?
PH?
NH3?
NO2?
NO3?
GH?
Temp?
when was the last time you did a water change?

The tank is a 4ft by 2 ft, intend to house them in a bigger tank soon, PH is 6.5, water temp. is 30 degrees celsius,afraid I don't have the data on the other parameters you asked, water(1/3) change is done every week, was last changed 4 days ago, afraid I can't give a pic, the bugger is dark and it has difficulty stabilising itself, it's in an upright position, head up, tail down. Swims normally when going for food, in fact changes to near normal color when eating, and turns dark after meals. Puzzling....Thanks Master PB
this is probably a subdominate male.
when you move the group, keep him in the tank with some other medium sized fish and see what happens.
