I just spent 4 hours with and open bag of Harlequin Rasbora adding a little of my tank water at a time until the pH matched. They looked fine not staying at the top. I finally put them in the tank one at a time and all four are now at the top and staying there. There is 0ppm ammonia 0ppm nitrite and 0ppm nitrate. I add dechlorinator when I did a 85% water change two days ago because of algae. The tank has been setup for four and a half weeks now. I also added dechlorinate this morning before adding the fish this afternoon. I also added 6 Amano Shrimp two of which died after being add sooner. I left the other 4 in the bag with the Rasbora. The shrimp seem content now.
So what am I doing wrong? The tank is an ADA 60p 17us gal. with co2 at one bubble per second. Inline heater set about 79 degrees/ 26 Celsius and a Eheim 2211 canister filter. Also has a Twinstar II M5 Algae Inhibitor. Not working too well BTW. Light is a Twinstar 600C on about 8 hours a day. It has live plants, driftwood and rocks.
