Hi all
I have recently (last weekend) upgraded my tank from a 180l to a 370l tank. I am using my external from my old tank and have put the media from my internal filter (old tank) into another external which came with the tank. I have also used the old gravel (plus some new. The tank is planted. I have done a water test and no ammonia,nitrate or nitrite is present, my Ph is a little higher than normal at 7.6.
In the tank are 2 x clowns about 3" long, a plec (cant remember name but it was one of the smaller growing ones due to old tank size), 10 x penguin tetras and 2 x lemon tetras.
Well thats details sorted (hopefully)
Yesterday i noticed one of my clown fish swimming quite weird he/she is swimming up and down the front corner of the tank facing towards the corner he does this quite a few times then swims about a bit then goes to the opposite corner and does the same.
Does anyone have any ideas? I was thinking it might be a bit of stress but am unsure. All the other fish seem fine.
If it is stress what is the best action to take.
Thanks in advance
Phill
