I recently picked up a new false percula clownfish for my FO aquarium. Since I've introduced him into my tank he has hardly moved from the corner of my where my heater is located. He spends all of his time swimming at the suface of the water and his breathing seems rather rapid. I have seen him eat...but not much since my blue damsel is more of the aggressor. My water params are as follows:
Salinity 1.020
Ammonia 0
Nitrites 0
Nitrates 20ppm
Temp 80F
He doesnt move around much...just spends most of his time very near the top of the water almost like he is trying to get out. I'm guessing maybe its stress from a higher nitrate level...although my damsel and CBS shrimp seem to be thriving. Any help is appreciated. I think I'll just do a 50% water change in the mean time....Thanks.
