[FrAnK3333]

they used to swim now i see them in the corner...is this normal or is somthing wrong

 

[Sorrell]

What are your water params? When was the last time you did a water change? Are they eating or showing loss of color? The more info the better

 

[FrAnK3333]

i did a 25 percent water change yesterday and today..o ppm amm and 5 ppm nitrite as of 2 hours ago it wnet down to .25 ppm....one goes crazy now when i put food in and one hangs at the bottom in the corner. i was thinking i should sell them back to my lfs but i dont know i like them

 

[Sorrell]

I think selling them back would be the best plan

 

[FrAnK3333]
