I have a 75 gallon bow front peacock tank, I house 9 in it,
-2 Blueberry OB's...1 2&1/2 inches and 1-3&1/2 inches
-1 2&1/2 inch red shoulder
- 1 3&1/2 inch orchid blue
-1 3 inch ruby red
-1 2&1/2 inch sunshine
-3 sulfer heads, 1 3&1/2 inch, 2 2&1/2 inch
So 2 days ago I took a fake plant out and replaced it with a different one and my fish started tripping, rubbing themselves alot on the gravel, way more than the usual cichlid does, I was referd to use copper safe so this morning I went and got it and after I added it my fish really went off the walls, started twitching and spazzing out than rubbing themselves at a fast pace on the rocks, so I did a 40% water change thinkin that they didn't like the copper safe, I added fluval conditioner and aquarium salt, turned the heater up a tad bit and put a lil melafix in it, there still not acting right, and I don't know what to do, my readings are all good except my nitrate is at 2.0, can some one help me out please?!!!
