I got 10 neon tetras 4 days ago for my new tank. The shopkeeper told me that I should start off with fish in the tank and it being my first tank I believed her. I read up on it and found out how bad it is so have been doing regular water changes of 30%, I did one yesterday.
One of my fish is hanging around the bottom of the tank. He's pale and not schooling with all the other fish. He's quite a bit smaller than than the largest fish and is being bullied by him, could this be why he's pale?
My ammonia and nitrates are at a good level- I checked them today and they were both low but I had really high pH. I have been trying to bring it down but it's not happening very fast. Is he getting sick from the alkaline water?
It's a 90 litre (23 gallon) tank and all of the other fish look fine, including the other small ones.
Does anyone know what could be wrong with him? I really don't want him to die.
