Problem

[Loony Fish]

ok,
i just today set up a 2.5 gallon breeding tank for black skirt tetras. i have properly cycles the filter in a tank with black skirt tetras and added plants from the same tank.

i put one of my good females in and she's acting weird. she's just sitting on the bottom not moving.

the only weird thing with my water tests was that phosphate was above 10.0ppm.

would this be doing this to the fish?
please help!

Tanks abit small. has she gone pale with clamped fins.
Did you match ph and temp.
Why have you moved them for breeding.

i know the tank is small. i just use it because it works and it's the only tank i get fertile eggs in.

i only moved the female and the only weirdness is that she's just sitting there.
maybe she's still stressed from moving?

Any other symtoms like looking paler or darker in colour. or clamped fins.
is she resting to one side.
Can you answer some of the questions like did you match ph and temp.
