Actually, that is probably the most normal thing a wartskin angler will do, they are ambush predators.He seemed to be perfectly fine when we got him in the tank. He was making laps and even ate a shrimp..it wasn't until he ate the shrimp that he started acting like this...
Now, he hasn't moved since I got home around 6pm yesterday.
There is no way to add to much oxygen unless you see bubbles floating throughout the whole tank. I wouldnt be too discouraged, sometimes fish dont make it after the LFS, you never know how it was collected and shipped so it could have been unhealthy but its symptoms may not have manifested yet. Still sorry to see this happeningUPDATE (kind of...)
- Just got to work, my boss has a 250 gallon fish tank so I am borrowing supplies..
Mochi is in the same spot, hasn't moved, and I'm borrowing my boss's Red Sea Ammonia Test Kit and Seachem's AmGuard..
Headed home now to test and possibly add the AmGuard.
--My husband insists that all the parameters are perfectly fine. He did not test ammonia yesterday but seems to think that because the nitrates/nitrites are where they are that the problem isn't the ammonia. I, on the other hand, would rather be safe than sorry.
--Also, we have 2 very small but powerful pumps...1 is turned off and pretty much the entire tank has flow. But should I add an air stone? How do I know if there is too much oxygen??
Thoughts??
