geebs Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 So this beautiful little feller decided to stop flaring ever again. It's been about a week since the last time. He just gets pale-faced, a stress line, and clamps up now. Before that, been mirroring him a few mins each day... Maybe he's just tired? Im worried he's sick...Any ideas? Not showing any symptoms otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanie1978 Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Ammonia, PH, Nitrate spike, too much light. He could be cold as they do well in room temperature water, stress from over/under cleaning tank or even tannins from the wood. Due a 40% WC, shake the water conditioner, etc. really well and add a touch of salt with the temperature boosted up 2 degrees from your normal settings slowly. Good luck he's a beautiful fish.
