Hi,
I got a chinese algae eater at petco a few dats ago. The first one died overnight, while all other fish are fine. I got a new one for free, and he is not very active. He sits most of the time, and when he does swim, its like he can barely make himself go in the water, his fins are fluttering but he just kind of jerks along then stops. I am worried about him, and want him to eat my algae, or else (an this is totally mean and I dont want this at all) to die liek the other so I can get a proper replacement). I know my brother has a chinese and a gold algae eater, and both went right to work and cleaned the tank in notime.
Any ideas? My water checks out fine, I have a planted tank at about 78-80F.
thanks,
JMH
