I have 3 harlequin rasboras I got 3 days ago. The tank was fully cycled long before I got them, and the stats now are:
ammo 0
nitrites 0
nitrates 5
ph 7.0
temp 78
I just walked in the room the tank is in and turned on the room light. The tank light has been on since 9 this morning. One of the harlequins was sitting on the bottom, no colors showing at all. After I touched him with the vaccum he barely moved. Finally after about 5 minutes he started to color-up a little and swam for a minute kind of darting around. Then he sat back down on the bottom and hasn't moved since. The other 2 were doing ok, other than being really still when I first went in there. I don't know if the room light being off made them think it was bedtime even though the tank lights were on or what. But I think something is wrong with the one. There are no visible signs on anything wrong other than his color not being right.
Any ideas??
Thanks, in advance.
