I have a 29 gallon tank that has been up and running for 3 years. The underlit suggestion just may be the problem as now that you mention that I think it may have started after I had replaced my bulb. I have a 20-40 whisper filter, and air stone running all the time also.
I have 6 rasboras, 1 swordtail, 2 small tetras, 1 cory and a small pleco and feed them tropical fish flakes twice a day, about as much as they can eat in 2 minutes or so but also toss in a couple of shrimp pellets as the pleco and cory seem to devour them.
The bulb that came with the tank (which was the 29 gal. kit from Walmart) was replaced with a 50/50 (50percent natural 50 percent actinic 03 blue) 20 watt bulb.
If this is due to low lighting, what do all of you suggest. Thanks so much for your help!
