Glowlight Tetra Having Trouble Swimming - Help!

[fadetoblack]

Okay, sounds good.

And sorry to keep asking questions, but what other kind of food should I feed him? Flakes aren't going to work too well because: One, they float, and he has trouble getting to the surface (even though I took out about 2.5 gal of water in order to make it easier for him); and Two, they can cause him more constipation.

Frozen daphnia, brimestrimp, broc, and the peas, just more frozen foods and veg.

Broc = Broccoli, right?

Yeah I'm an idiot, but hey... ya never know.

Thanks, I'll go grab some brineshrimp and daphnia later.


Oh and one more thing. I'm having trouble getting this guy to eat. When I put the pea pieces in, he seemed to completely ignore them, unless he just couldn't get to them - any suggestions?

Just woke up this morning and noticed some light green foam around the in-tank filter:

Is this okay, should I do anything about it?
I don't know if the medication in the water could have something to do with it?

Yes broccolii can never spell it.
The green foam is just algae by the sounds of it, won't harm the fish.

Yea I know... I had to google it up to make sure I had spelled it right


Algae... seems weird after only having the tank set up for three days, doesn't it? I don't even have any algae in the main tank that's been set up for months!

I posted this same question about the foam on another fish forum, and two people there told me that it is "protein foam"

I see sorry.
Don't no what it is then, green flake food, added any green meds.
Added any new live plants.
