Ok... Have a male swordtail acting weird... he is in a planted(fake)
45G tank, water is normal pH 7.0 (was 7.6 a few days ago) Kh 3 GH 6 Amm. ~0 N02 ~.25ppm NO3 ~20 (~10 a few days ago) Last water check was Thursday, water stats then were the normal baseline for this tank. Saturday a three clown loaches were added to the tank. Friday rolls around, and we notice that one of the swordtails has migrated to the bottom. This is a fantailed swordtail we got from the Lyretail tank at the LFS a couple of weeks ago. His color is normal, his dorsal is still held high, he appears to be hyperventilating a little, and is belly to the gravel. He has moved around a little bit, but has not left an area about 5 inches long by 2 inches wide under some plants next to the side of the tank. Other than his gill action, and his lethargic hiding under the plants next to the glass, he appears normal. Any thoughts??
