I've done a few water PWC within the last week or so as regular maintainence and now to treat a parasite infection. I discovered late last week that my new Rope had some little worms that needed to be tended to.
Anyway, I've been noticing some 'weird' (for me anyway) behavior after the PWC. All of the fish are swimming with their 'own kind'. Usually the Gouramis (I have 2 Pearl, 2 Gold, and 1 Opaline) are spread out throughout the tank as are the Rams, but after the PWC they literally swim circles around each other. There's no chasing or nipping it's almost like they're dancing or something. It's a very odd to see, at least for me as this is something new. Do any of you experience this?
Also, as a side question. I'm worried that doing to many PWC will mess up my levels. How soon after a PWC can you test the water and get accurate readings?
