Hello, I am new to the "Aquarium Advice"
So now into the problem, I have a 3 inch black ghost knife fish in my 29 gallon tank, (I will switch him to a bigger tank someday) and I bought him a week ago along with a ghost tube. I heard to take out any hiding spots out of your tank so he learns to go into the tube. So I did and ever since that he acts dead when I turn the lights of, and doesn't move his anal fin and his pictorial fin just hangs out. He eats and doesn't have any tears in his fin. He changes color at night, to a shiny gray color, but only half of his body. (he is the biggest fish in the tank
Tank Mates are: 1 Small marbled angelfish, 1 dwarf gourami, 1 bristle nose pleco, and 1 dojo loach.
Known Parameters: Ammonia:0ppm Nitrite:0ppm, Nitrate:1ppm, Ph 6.9
dKH:3ppm, phosphates:0ppm.
So should I get a dark PVC pipe for a hiding spot, and give some hiding spots back. BTW I cycled my tank with Seachem Stability. I have done saltwater before so I know the newbie things. Thank You.
