So, things seem to be going well overall. I've just noticed something a little puzzling in the past few days so I thought I'd run it by you all to get your opinions.
In the past few days at water change time I've noticed some irritation displayed by the gang. Rapid breathing, some scratching against surfaces, fluttering of fins, and shaking of heads. I've noticed probably two out of three times lately.
The first time, after water change I treated with Chlor-Am X but it didn't seem to make a big difference. So, I chalked it up to the fact that my storage water was a few degrees lower than their tank water had been. Once the temp started coming back up they seemed to improve. Or, so I thought.....
Last night's water change went fine, no irritation displayed that I noticed.
Tonight it was back to irritation but at a lesser degree than before. The storage water was pretty much the same as the tank water had been so..now I think it wasn't the temp, or at least not just the temp. So, again I treated with the Chlor-Am X and they seem to have come out of it pretty much.
Nothing that I know of has changed about my water supply nor are any of my other tanks displaying any irritation.
Thoughts anyone? :confused:
