90g tank w/29g sum (110 in system)
0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, 5-10 nitrates
Kh 2, ph 7.3, temp 79
10 rasboras
9 punctatus cory
10 cardinal tetras
10 white fin tetras
1 angel
5 boesemani rainbows
Hi there! Our tank has only been running with fish for 1.5 weeks, but the behavior of some of our rasboras has me very concerned. The smallest of the school hides behind our overflow box all day long and never comes out, ever. We tried isolating him in a small isolation hob unit for 48 hours, got him to eat, and returned him to the main tank. After a short time, he went back behind the overflow and has remained there. I do not believe he eats. He is very pale.
Tonight i noticed he has been joined by another. This one has a very fat bulging belly. No pinecone appearance. I saw him come out for a moment, very pale.
Should I euthanize these fish? I worry the new addition behind the overflow has dropsy...
Unrelated, one of my cories keeps banging his side on the bottom, on purpose. Normal??
Thanks in advance.
