Ok, so we finally got our 29 gal tank set back up and moved our black skirt tetra, pleco, and Chinese algae eater into it. They seem so much happier.
I went and got 7 little tiger barbs and a rubbernose pleco and put them into the 10 gal just vacated by the other fish for quarantine purposes. The plan was to keep them there a week or two then move the tiger barbs to the 29 gal once I'm sure they are healthy.
This was day before yesterday. The barbs seem stressed still. Their color is faded and they are all hovering under the plants. Their mouths are opening and closing very quickly.
Parameters:
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 40
Ph 7.2
Hardness 150
Alk 120
Ammonia 0.25
I'm so worried about these little guys!!!! Please help!!! What am I doing wrong? I'm scared I'm gonna lose them. Ill try to attach a pic of them hovering under the plant.
