Bwhaahahahahahaha
All done now, the tank looks a lot better but some of my Cherry Barbs are flashing against the bottom gravel since I refilled. What the hay? I didn't add any fish to the tank so I can safely rule out Ich. Gill flukes or just maybe the water parameters changed too much for them?
My swordtails have been doing that ever since I've known them.
They seem to use it as a social cue too. When the fry saw the adults gathering in a circle and taking turns flashing in same spot, the fry chose another spot and, since they were a trio, also took turns like the adults and flashed on the same spot on the sand.
Not sure about barb behavior though, but I'm used to seeing swordies flash and that happens at most once a day.
Today, my fish had 2 treats:
1 - egg yolk - everyone ate it, including the fry.
2 - salad - Tzuppy's favorite food, and he's the only one to eat it.
But I have found a veggie that all my fish seem to love: Spinach.
Bee managed to eat some. She was so desperate that she ran with it in her mouth, trying to get away from the rest of the swordies.
There's still a frozen pack left. Will defrost it tomorrow.
