Ok.... 340litres. Amnonia 0 nitrites 0 nitrates 5 ph 7.5. Tds 206. Tank running 4months. 8 neons 6 rummys 6 Columbians 8 corys (mixed) 3 paradise fish and 2 pearl gouramis.
Some teething problems the first couple of months as iv discussed in older threads but the last 6/7 weeks all going smoothly. Water parameters steady and good.
I bought the 2 gouramis a week ago and they have been hiding a lot as I know is the norm initially. My concern is the last few days most of my corys are hiding/ acting scared. Up til this they have always been very active and out front.
The only changes recently have been the introduction of 2 new gourami who hide- are they mimicking or picking up on the gouramis nervousness possibly??? Something else?? What is causing this change in behaviour do yous think???
Il add that the other change recently has been using RO water the last month to slowly bring ph levels down. But this has been added gradually and I'd have thought would have been a positive change?
Any advice/explanations appreciated. Ta natalie
