Fish Fanatic
Hi, iv attached a link on this to a video of my Neons really strange behaviour that he/she has been doing for the past 2 nights. He/she just keeps swimming in the same spot and being very aggressive to any others that come near him when he does this! It’s only at night! Not off his/her food either or doing anything else strange, also noticed discolouration on top of his/her head going along it’s spine. It’s a new tank that has only been running for just over a month and had dangerous nitrite levels on Saturday, (4.0) due to rubbish advice from the start from the LFS staff about cycling my tank! I have since then liquid tested my water parameters every day and have been doing 50-75% water changes every day because my ammo and nitrites have been above 0 and my nitrate was above 20.0. Water parameters this morning before doing a 50% water change were:
Ammo: 0.2
Nitrite: between 0-0.25
Nitrate: 5.0
The woman at the fish store told me it was likely that all the Neons (there’s 6 in my tank) would die due to the high nitrite levels at the weekend. There’s no other fish in my tank. It’s a 25L and has an internal filter.
Just to add, an hour later nearly and he/she is still doing it!
