Hello, I'm new to Tropicalfishforums, i am here because i am not sure if somethings wrong with my blood parrot,
a few days ago i noticed black spots on him. i checked the water and the parameters were fine. so i know its not ammonia burns. he is still a juvenile so i assumed the spots were natural. If its not natural i'm assuming its stress because he is newish to the tank. My problem is that he has been swimming still, near, however hes not always there but when he stops exploring and stops hiding he just sits there there at the bottom near the filter pipe. is this normal? Hes eating and swimming fine, so i'm just not sure.
 
Hi and welcome to the forum :)

Can you post a picture and short (20 second) video of the fish?

What is the ammonia, nitrite, nitrate & pH of the water (in numbers)?

How long has the tank been set up for?

How often do you do water changes and gravel clean the substrate, and how much water do you change?
Do you dechlorinate the water before it is added to the tank?

How often do you clean the filter and how do you clean it?

What other fish are in the tank?
How long have you had the blood parrot for?

How big is the aquarium (length x width x height)?
