Aquarium Advice Regular
ok this may seem strange but I have a guppy who is acting very odd?
I had gotten usd to him sleeping when the lights where out and being in very strange contortions when I find him but the last 2 day when I check on him after work (lights on) he has been sleeping nose in the air straight up and down behind the same leafhe comes out when I feed him feeds like crazy then goes back and lays there. I have kept the lights onl longer the last few days to try to help some struggling plants. And i noticed yesterday that when he came out in the morning he was covered in dots now I fed him watched him eat then stepped away when i came back I could not find a single dot on him or any other fish. same thing after feeding last night covered in spots then poof all gone this morning I am watching very closely and yes spots as he eats spots "float" away leaving him spot free after a few min wild swimming (he thinks he has to catch all is food after tracking it lol will not eat food that floats down near him) so again after lights on 10 min feeding is over no spots at all.
It almost seems like he is dusty after taking his naps. His fav leaf is near a air stone and often has a very fine coating of bubbles on it could those be sticking to him and what should I do. I dont think it is ich as they keep going away and none of the other fish show them.
oh and he is not near the top of the tank like he might be if it is a lack of O2 it is half way down in the shade of a broad leaf.
any thoughts any one had a fish like that before
my ammo and trite are at 0 trate at about 5 ph ~7 water soft
