Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Setup: 55gal, UGF with 2 power heads, penguin 330, airpump to 2 power heads, two heaters at 78F
Inhabitants: live plants, 6 zebra danios, 2 lemon tetras, 2 neon tetras, 6 corrys, 1 plecko, 1 sunset fire platty (male) (I am in process to build up the population and have bought 4 neon tetras and are in my QT tank for 2 weeks now)
Fish look ok, neon tetras are bright, zebra danios are shiny with metalic blue stripes etc... fish don't look stressed....
However... lemon tetras swim at about 10-15 deg angle. Weird. And to top it off, a couple of zebra danios are looking really fat. Almost like constipated. On one there are even little baloons of air on its belly (trapping it from the air pump).
Watter measures: pH 7.8 (bit high I think), Amonnia 0, Nitrates 0.25, Nitrites 0.
I just did a water change and added pH neutralizer and clorine/cloraminne removal to it. I noticed some fish eggs on the glass near the top. They are translucent/white color. Wonder which fish is it.
Could be zebra danios are not fat, just preggers?
