Hi there,his behaviour seems to keep changing, later on yesterday he was swimming about fine and eating, then later was back down on the bed facing down towards the rock work??? He also keeps going back to hiding behind a bit of live rock and just staring down???
My parameters are:
Ammonia (NH3/NH4+) = 0
Nitrite (N02) = 0
Nitrate (N03) = 10
pH = 8.2
specific gravity or salinity = 1.023
water temperature = 23 degrees Celsius
The transit wasn’t long as the shop I was getting them from in the UK is only a few hours away from me. However I am not entirely sure when the were sent out.
I acclimatised them as directed on this site, i.e. float bag for 10 mins, add 1 cup from tank, wait 10 mins, take out a cup from bag and add another from tank, wait 10 min and repeat, then slowly lifted them into the tank.
Why do you think he is behaving fine for a while and then acting strange again??? Also, his balance is fine now…. strange
Please help, I am very worried.
