I came home and one of my albino tetras was swimming kinda on her side and in small circles. I added melafix and pimafix *not a full dose* and fed.
Later when I went to check on her, I couldn't find any albinos swimming strangely or floating or laying on the bottom.
What I did find was 2 of the red tetras *like black skirts* were pale. One of them was swimming a bit tilted. I put another capful of each melafix and pimafix in. Then I added an entire capful of PRIME. It is a 36g tank.
3 days prior in a different tank, I found a cherry barb swimming tilted and in a small area. I did a 40% water change *knowing I was late with it* and that fish is fine now. If the tetras are not better by morning, I'll do a water change. I just did one 4-5 days ago. I wonder if I vacuumed too much or something....
I have not tested anything... The only thing that changed is the water seemed far too warm, so I adjusted the thermostat.... then it seemed too cold 3 days later. I tried to adjust it back up but not as far. COuld this have been too stressful for them? I think it dropped 3-4 degrees in 3 days and then went back up 2-3 in 2 days.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
