Fish Acting Funny, Discus, Rams, Clowns

[julioarca]

My fish are looking very strange.

They are very still, got no interest in food, in hidding, not at water top, bout 2/3 down, they just look uninterested. Never seen this before.....

Ph 6.0
Kh 4
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0
Nitrate 25

Any help ?

How many gallons is the tank?
Any signs of flicking and rubbing, or laboured breathing..
Any colour change like being pale or darker in colour.
Any look bloated or thin.

They all look the same as normal, breathing the same, just acting totally uninterested in anything

Ok.
You would be better of posting this thread in the cichlid part of the forum.
Do you have any pets that have stressed them out.

Only got the fish and a wifey

Ok.
I would still do this thread in the cichlids section of the forum.
For now I would just keep an eye on them, hiding away can mean there something wrong.

What's your temp running at? Running temps too high can lead to drowsyness, due to lack of oxygen in the water. Allowing too lower temp with discus can lead to outbreaks of internal parasites, so aim for about 28-30c, closer 30 the better.

Also, are you injecting CO2? If not, what test kit are you using?

I sorted the problem out....C02 poisoning, begun to aerate the tank and a couple of hours on....fish improving...now back to normal

Glad you found the problem not nice, but better than not knowing.
