White cloud minnow sick?
So i began the stocking process on my new 60 gallon yesterday, after power outage running a generator after about 2hrs everything was normal. Temps swung a bit but nothing to crazy.
Tanks been up and running for roughly a week with pre-seeded media in it.
Current stocking:
1 Flame tail honey gourami
2 praecox Rainbowfish
6 White cloud that had a ton of color surprisingly
5 paleatus Corydoras (I Think, might post pic here and see if anyone can ID)
5 Pristella tetra (I think, might post pic here and see if anyone can ID)
There is also currently 4 neon tetras and 5 cardinal tetras in their because of the power thing (planned on moving back today but now im hesitant) I have had these fish for several months prior to moving with no losses.
The gourami and rainbows are only about and inch at and i have been watching the tank quite a bit, no bullying going on atm. I realize some stocking may/will need to get changed but thats not what this is about.
So after doing about a 15% change yesterday i went to do a 25% today being that its still a fairly new tank. Only to notice 5 of my white cloud were either floating/hovering near the top or laying on the substrate with very little movement. Even after sticking a net in their to move them to a different tank temporarily they let me net them without moving.
Water parameters are good and no other fish seem to be having any problems. They looked healthy at LFS I turned my heater down to 75 from 78 thinking maybe something with the heat. My LFS also QTs fish before putting out for sale.
Any input would be appreciated.
