Fish Fanatic
I have a heavily planted 400l tank with Co2 injection. I have noticed that my angelfish have been hanging around the surface and jerking suddenly moving about 5 cm a time in jerky movements then stopping still again. The movement would be like if someone startled you and you jumped, only they move horizontally rather than up. I stopped CO2 injection and adjusted the pump flow so that it now disturbs the surface to allow more oxygen in but so far this has made no difference. All water parameters are fine, ammonia 0, nitrite 0, and nitrate 0 (Being used up very quickly by the plants). ph is 7, I also tested the oxygen level with a commercial kit and it seemed to be good. Any ideas on this strange behaviour, they are still eating normally when i fed them this morning, could it be some kind of internal parasite
