Hi all!
Ok so i have an interesting story. To keep it short my old tank cracked and i had to do an emergency swap. Luckily i was planning on doing an official switch so i had another tank laying around. Obviously i didnt get a chance to filter the new tank etc etc. Now i have my community into the new tank. Long story short i have 3 german blue rams all ok 3 clown loach all ok 1 rainbow which is fine and a pleco which is also fine but my discuss all either look in the same direction huddled up or ones looking at the back wall or at some points they just look straight down at the gravel.
Water parameters are all fine except ph is a little high due to this sudden swap. I am attaching a photo to give an idea what i am looking at. I added drift and live plants to lower the ph. i know the wood is releasing tannin's which is why the water is darker then usual but im not sure how to get them out of this phase. They are eating like normal when i feed them. They are pooping normally. No bloat and no symptoms i can see. Im assuming because its a new tank and environment they are scared/stressed but just wanted to get everyone's opinion.
This is my first post so please go easy on me :)
Ok just to edit it keeps failing when i try to upload a picture
