Hi, I did a 20 gallon water change on my 65 gallon FOWLR today because it's ammonia and nitrites we 0, but nitrates were 20ppm and the salinity was a tad high at 1.026.
I finished the water change and checked my parameters to be 0 for ammonia and nitrites, but 10ppm for nitrates (yay it lowered). My salinity had dropped to around 1.023 and a half. Temp was the same as usual. (78 at night and 80 during the day) Ph was 8.0 but it tends to fluctuate between that and 8.2.
My one spot foxface seems to be freaking out and swimming up and down the glass! My other fish are fine and sleeping, but not the foxface! Do you think this is stress, or is something up with the water? Any tips on water changes to avoid this problem? I really hope he will be okay
