Hi,
I noticed something off with one of my pet fish today, and I got worried. I decided to created an account and asked about it here.
One of my fish appear to be more “redder” than usual, so I’m wondering if my fish is bleeding. I’m sorry if the photos are a little blurry, but hopefully you can see the redness.
I’m not sure if there is something wrong with my fish, so I’d really like some help as to what’s going on here. But he appears to be acting normal and swimming around fine.
In terms of some setup, I have a filter and a heater regulator in my tank, which I set to 26 degrees Celsius. The capacity of the tank is nearly 100 litres, but I had to put a divider (with water holes) in the tank at halfway length-wise. I did a water change and tank cleaning about 12 hours ago (from this post), and the fish appeared to be normal. The water level is higher than the divider, so the fish is able to swim between both halves of the tank (picture included, with all my four fish on the same side, when normally it should be two on each side, with the fish that is turning red normally on the right side).
I’m not exactly sure what species my fish are.
I just did a test of the water and I also included photos of it. For reference, the pH has always been low, but my fish have never acted abnormally to this. I’ve had them for about 2 years now.
Just in case this matters, whenever I do water changes or clean the tank, the fish sometimes panic and swim crazily, and occasionally knocking into the glass. So, I wondering maybe the fish hurt itself because of it. But after the water change and tank cleaning (again, 12 hours ago), I didn't notice the same redness as I do now.
I feed my fish 1-2 times a day, mostly flakes and the occasional peas (which was not very recent).
Can anyone please help me? Thanks in advance!
Edit: I just received word from my sister that she didn't see the fish look like this earlier today, so this must have started within 2-3 hours ago.
Edit2: Two of the fish are now back on their correct side of the divider. I included a photo of this just in case. This is the normal setup for my tank.
