We have 4 black skirts in a 55 gallon tank. It has been set up and cycled since Jan. We are adding fish slowly. We currently have 4 black skirts, 3 glass tetras (not painted), 6 zebra danio's and just added 4 cherry barbs lastnight.
Lastnight I checked on them one lasttime before going to bed. All had been dark for about an hour. 2 of the black skirts were on the bottom of the tank motionless. The other day one of them was up against the sunken boat seemingly lifeless. But when we put the net in to get him he perked up and swam away. I hadnt noticed anything else out of the ordinary until lastnight. When I saw 2 of them this way. Is this normal for the black skirts?
They seemed fine this morning. I can't find anything on this so I dont know if I should be concerned or not. We check our levels weekly and they are in the recommened areas (I'm at work so can't give specifics).
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Dawn
