Aquarium Advice Regular
Here are the specs:
1) 1 glolight tetra has a warped spine - appears to have no other symptoms, his colour is good and he's eating and hanging out with the others. This seems to have gotten worse in the past few weeks. It's been there for about 6-8 weeks or so.
2) Parameters are good - ammonia zero, nitrates pretty low, temp is 76 degrees F.
3) The tank is a 10 gal and has been set up for a year now
4) It has a standard hob filter
5) There are 4 glolight tetras, 4 neon tetras, and a pile of snails that sort of invaded recently
6) I just vacuumed the gravel moments ago, and I do this about once every 2 weeks. I change about 1/4 of the water when I do this, and occasionally add some melafix.
7) I've had the fish for a few months now - since the early spring, I think
8- I added a bit more gravel and live plants (with snails, inadvertently) about 3 months ago.
9) They get flakes, with frozen bloodworm treats once every 1 or 2 weeks
