Hi,
In the past few days all 5 of my angel fish hovered around the surface almost all day long during the day, doing nothing. I once checked at night and they're all in the middle/bottom. Other fishes were business as usual.
So, I did a 25% water change, tested amonia and nitrite(sp) and found no trace of neither, checked the temperature and it's around 76 and the heater's working.
They're feeding ok, one Koi wasn't as ethusiastic as the other. But other times they just hung around in a corner, breathing. which is unlike their normal/old behaviour. I added 3 fishes (about 4 inches) of bio-load last weekend, so the load now is probably on the heavy side. However the hovering around only came few days later.
Oh BTW, 1 gourami died a week ago after spending one week in the tank.
I'm worried. Any ideas? Thanks!
Below is my setup: 55 gal long with Penguin 330.
6 zebra danions;
5 lemon tetras;
3 Bos???? rainbow fish;
3 neon tetras;
3 adult Koi angels;
2 juv. black angles.
2 CAE;
1 orange(?) dwarf gourami;
1 guppy.
