Aquarium Advice Apprentice
My 55gal tank consists of:
7 tiger barbs
6 zebra danio
3 giant danio
3 pictus catfish
Water Parameter:
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 10
PH: 7.6
One of my scaless pictus catfish is seen to rub its belly on my aquarium wall. At first I was panicking and was really worried that it had Ick or such. But when I checked for any symptoms, there were no signs. All of my pictus were behaving normally the other day, hanging out in the bottom of my aquarium and having little fights for hiding spots, but just a week ago I started noticing that one of the pictus is rubbing its belly on the aquarium wall. It's not the salt either because I took recommended amount of salt for scaless fishes so it won't "burn" their skin or irritate them in any way (1 teaspoon per 10g). What should I do? If he's continuing to rub on the aquarium wall should I make any action? If so what? Thanks.
