I have a female Endler that is lying on the bottom of the tank. Her mouth and gills are moving very fast. My first thought was ammonia or nitrite problem (esp. since I moved this tank two weeks ago). But ammonia and nitrite are at 0. Ammonia might be slightly above 0, but since there are low amounts of nitrates I know that the aquarium didn't "uncycle" in the short time it was down (about 2 hours).
None of the other fish are showing any signs of illness, and I have alot of young Endlers in the tank as well as about 12 adults. I did add some dwarf crayfish yesterday, but doubt they brought any illness into the tank. Beyond that, nothing new has been added except for plants.
No signs of any fungus or parasite. I pulled her out of the tank for a while and put her into some salt water. She seemed to get better so I put her back in. She went right back to the bottom. I know she hasn't been bothered by the crayfish (which I have had in that tank for months) as she she shows no fear of them and has no injuries.
Any clue what it might be? She is not visibly pregnant, so I ruled out giving birth. Should I pull her back out of the tank?
Advice please!!
