Ok, so I recently finished fishless cycling my 45 gallon tank. Cycle took about 5 or 6 weeks. I went out and bought most of my stock and now, 4 days later, most of my fish are really lazy and kinda just swim in place. They won't school and just tread water in place.
Tank is 45 gallon. Stock is
Tiger Barbs x7
Cherry Barbs x5
Bloodfin Tetra x5
Blue Gourami x1
Here are my water parameters as of an hour ago..
Ammonia: 0 ppm
Nitrite: 0 ppm
Nitrate: ~30 ppm
pH: 8.2
Temperature: 78°F
No salt or medications in water
Note that pH from tap, which is untested well water, reads 7.0 and my tank is at 8.2 and not sure why.
My tiger barbs are lazy and wont swim around anymore, kinda just sitting still. I have a large air pump connected to bubble curtain. I have an emperor 400 and a penguin 150 so my filtration is good. No live plants. One piece of driftwood i found years ago that i boiled for a total of 6 hours and let sit in water for a total of about 144 hours. That sounds like all of it.
So why are my fish all of a sudden lazy and dont wanna do anything but sit still?
