Aquarium Advice Regular
Hey all. Pretty new here and just setup my first 20 gallon tank. I have an appropriate filter setup as well as an air pump creating bubbles via a strip. Everything is looking great and I just recently added 3-4 live plants which I really like. In my tank I have 1 plecostomus, 3 tiger barbs, 1 zebra danio, and a red colored "GloFish". They all seem to get along quite well, no aggression form the barbs or anything. THey have been in the tank for around a week now and everything seems to be going well except I have noticed my Zebra Danio is hovering very low and even 'sitting' on the botom of the tank at times. As I look now he is on the bottom or very near it. I have never noticed this kind of behavior out of him in his old tank.
I tested the water today and the test reported that I have fairly hard water and a high ph. Everything else is just right. Is it possible that either of thigns are causing such behavior? Its water from my sink that I treated with an aquasafe chemical, but this is also the same water that was in his old tank.
Sorry for the lengthy post! Thanks in advance!
