Tank: 10 Gallon
PH: 7
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 5
Tank Cycled: 4 or 5 months
Temp 77
Filter: Aqueon 10 with custom media
Heavily planted with wysteria and three other plants I am not aware of.
Also in the tank: 6 Glowlight Tetras
So I have a tank I have had setup for a while. After searching around I decided to put a Blue Ram in it. I was told this was fine, but after one day of it hiding in the plants, I looked up some info and found out I need dither fish. So I picked up the 6 glowlights.
Everything was fine for another day, and then today I noticed the Blue Ram up at the top in a corner at almost a 45 degree angle. So I started freaking and looking for a Cichlid forum to join. I have had no luck getting my registration mails.
After about an hour, the Blue Ram was back at the bottom by the plants. So I thought maybe it was something else. An hour later it was stuck in the filter intake. So I turned the filter off for now.
Should I go make a quarantine tank? Add some medication? Is there something else going on? I guess I need to start quarantining fish and plants. I do not dare move it to my 30 gallon because I do not want to spread anything.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
