Hello. 3 days ago I noticed that one of my neon tetras was behaving very erratically, spinning, spiraling, back flipping, and floating head up.
I placed him inside this box within the tank so he doesn't hurt himself. The behavior isn't as violent as it was before, but he's still continuing it. There are no noticeable marks on his body, although he has been very pale.
The tank is a 10 gallon planted that he has been in for about 8 months. I did a big rescape two weeks ago that involved a 100% water change, but the gravel, plants, etc remained the same.
The tank has 7 neon tetras, 3 otos, and 1 dwarf gourami.
The filter is an AC50.
The water parameters seem in order with a ph of 6.8, 0ppm ammonia and nitrites, and 5ppm nitrates, temp at 80.
Here's a link to a youtube video of the fish, I hope it helps the diagnosis.
Thank you for any help you guys can give me!
