Today I added 4 large (4-6") parrot fish to a 110 g that houses an Oscar and Jack Dempsey that were raised together by the previous owner along with 3-4 parrot fish. They are interacting extremely well. I changed 60% of the water yesterday.
I immediately noticed one pf is breathing rapidly with flared operculums. The other 3 are not & i have never seen the pair i have had in another tank for over a year do this. I thought this may have been a stress reaction from the 80 minute transport in a cooler, but the behavior persists. The cooler did have a battery operated blubbler. Should I be concerned? Is there anything to be done now?
