Immobilized tetras...

[agp]

Hey guys,

This question is actually for my sister as my tank isn't done cycling yet. She has a pair of black skirt tetras in a 5G tank. The tetras never swim around (unless you bang on the tank), or go hang out by the plant, they just sit in the corner of the tank by the submerged light. Any idea why?

Thanks,

Hunter

Is she changing the water every day during the cycle? What are the water parameters?

No she's changing water every week or so. And no she's not currently cycling, she's had the tank for a few months now.

You probably want to test the water to see first. Then get some pics to make sure they aren't sick. Lastly, I think they might be lonely (need more in the school)
