It’s boyancy is malfunctioning but then all of a sudden it’a acting normal again but I am watching the remaining 5 fish closely for any other odd signs of distress. However unlike before when I lived in the city the water here is very hard with Iron so I have taken to using filtered un chlorinated water which I still add water conditioner too just to be safe. The only
Other thing that seems off is this brown almost
Mold lookjng film has started forming on anything that doesn’t move ( see pics) is this something i should be worried about my gut says it just biofilm
