Help With Parrotfish

[Lexie3787]

I have 2 parrotfish. Recently, they have both started swimming upside/out of control, jumping out of the water, swimming into the class. And last night 1 of them died. Anyone have an idea of whats going on? Id hate to lose my other parrot too.

Want to look at your stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate and ph.
Any signs of fish flicking and rubbing against objects.

I am sorry for the loss of your parrot fish. i have a huge parrot fish that every time I walk near the tank he swims so eradictly the he thumps the sides of the tank. He then sits upside down until he calms down then he is fine. I am not sure why but he is a healthy one. Jsut adding that a normal event may be happening and the death is a fluke if your water is ok etc.

Just a thought...
