Hi All,
So a disturbing occurrence I seem to be having is that every time I change the water all my fish and my snail book it to the top of the tank. I always add a cap full of prime to the new water and swirl it before adding it to the tank. I'm using warm water about the same temp as the tank water and I only change 4 gal max each time, usually less. I have a 20 gal planted tank. All the levels in the tank are normal. Nitrates are maybe 15ppm. I also have a bubbler on in my tank at all times. I know that the water is low in oxygen I just don't have the slightest idea why. The fish usually return to their normal locations after 2-4 days. Is this normal? Should it be something I should be concerned with?
That's for the advice!
