Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I have a 29 gallon aquarium. In it, I have 2 large gold fish (Liz and Levi), a rubber lip plecosomus (Lumpy), and two Vanilla Lobsters (Dingo and Wallaby). All animals have been living together for 2 months, but I've had the goldfish for 3. In the tank are three kinds of vegetation, a piece of Mopani wood, a rock, and a hollow turtle hide out thing. Medium substrate made of clay. Everyone was happy and healthy until my mom's fish (aHole) came along.
My mom's Tiger Barb was too aggressive, and without telling me put it on MY tank. Despite the Massive size difference, aHole was CONSTANTLY chasing Liz and Levi. A few hours went by after my noticing, and I'd had it. AHole was put in a separate place.
Since then, Levi is acting weird and its very concerning. It's like he's falling asleep, utterly relaxes every muscle, and suddenly his Eyes BULDGE out, EVERY fin becomes elongated, and his mouth opens every bit it possibly can. It lasts about two beats worth, and he calms again. Sometimes he thrashes his head around, and/or he'll shudder his whole body.
He ate when I fed them about 30 minutes ago. He was completely normal this morning before aHole came in. I just returned from Petsmart, and my water is perfect, but I don't have the exact numbers. My water temp is at 78°F.
