My young son picked out glofish for our first adventure into aquariums. I did all the proper research and we've had 5 (purchased small) glofish tetra's in a 10gallon tank that was properly cycled before purchasing. Reading they like bigger schools and that 10gal is on the small side for 5, I decided to upgrade to a 20L and purchase 3 more glofish.
I did the move yesterday and I believe I did everything right. I am using the same HOB filter and a small sponge filter with air stone. I always check the water temps before adding and using a dechlorinator. I moved the gravel and decorations from the old tank and added some new gravel/decorations. I wiped/cleaned the new tank (with no chemicals) before starting.
This morning I've lost 2 of the original 5 (the 3 new seem fine). And 2 others of the original 5 are behaving a bit strange...1 seems to be near the surface more often than normal.
I can't for the life of me figure out what went wrong besides maybe just normal stress. I tested for Ammonia/nitrite and they are at 0. Water temp is the exact same as they had before (78F). The new fish aren't being aggressive at all, in fact one of the original seems to be bullying a little.
Any ideas? Water params seem great. Before anyone asks about PH, its the same tap i've always used for weekly water changes.
Thanks in advance.
