Sometimes that can mean a parasite, any heavy breathing or flicking or rubbing on objects.

seizures or Spasms


seizers are not good , how often are you able to change water ?

Sevs can get large and messy , they need a good regimen of regular cleaning , and water changes to reduce the amount of nitrates , amoung other waistes that can build up in your tanks water .


Try and get in a good water change soon if possible , as long as you are under water use restriction feed them less than you normaly would , this will slow down the need for water changes , but just by a little .

Try and find a product to use as filter media to aid in reduction of nitrates as long as you are resticted from over using water , "Seachem" makes something.


spasms are usually part of the spawning process , but can be caused by other things ..........

weekly 50% water change is the minimum requirement for sevy. Right now I'm doing 50% water change every 3 days now. Since I have like 6 of them. They poo as much as they ate.
