What do you mean by going crazy? When did you add them to the tank? They could just be really really excited to see you

Hahahahaha yeah I wish the always speed around the tank and run into everything and keep hurting themselves and they've been the tank for about a year know they are pretty big now

check your tank parameters ..

mine do things like that if my levels are off

I would suggest doing a large water change

what size tank? what is your entire stock

 

[machoburrito]

It's a 80 gallon with one jack,manganese, and a hi-fin pleco an how much percentage on water should I do?

 

[rreekers]

if you check you parameters I could suggest a more accurate amount.. without a reading I would suggest around 50% .. only because it seems like their current behavior isn't their average behavior


also the water change would make them happy regardless

what is your pwc schedule? amount and frequency

 

[machoburrito]

Ok sounds good and I do water changes about once a week. Thanks man

how much do you change out during your water changes? do you add conditioner or Prime?

 

[machoburrito]

About 35-40% and yes I use conditioner and stress coat and stress Zuyme too

 

[rreekers]

oh awesome do you have a liquid test test kit? if that's your schedule I wouldn't think to much should be off in your tank

 

[machoburrito]

Ok sounds good an yes I do but I have to restock it lol
