I have a 30gal cube.
Recently I had:
6 Tiger Barbs
3 Kenyi cichlids
3 Yellow Labs
1 Common Pleco
1 Pictus cat
Well I just moved the cichlids and the pleco to their new 150gal home. And I gave the Pictus to my sister.
I added 3 cherry barbs, 3 gold barbs, and 3 albino corys. (they're all very small right now)
I didn't add any algae eaters due to a complete lack of algae. Well ok, not a complete lack. But not enough to a support a fish of that type.
Well, now my Tigers are all basically just hanging out at the back left of the tank. And aren't eating. They all look very healthy and don't have trouble swimming. I checked the water several times and it's safe/stable.
Any ideas on what might be wrong? I've been feeding them spirulina flakes and freeze-dried brine shimp. This has always been their diet, and they've always ate it with no problems at all. But once the cichlids went, they kinda just became shy I suppose.
This has been going on for about a week.
(This probably should have gone in the unhealthy fish section....)
