Fish not swimming around very much

txaggies07 · Apr 28, 2007

My fish were very active until sometime last night. Last night and this morning all the damsels and the maroon clown have just been swimming behind a rock in the same place. The aren't swimming around at all.

My parameters are:
Temp: 78
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 5
pH: 8.2
Salinity: 1.024 (I don't remember the scale exactly so if I am off a factor of 10 don't worry about it. I am not at home right now)

Any ideas?

Something startled them?

done anything different? i would do a water change just to be safe...magic fix usually...

I did a 10% earlier today. They started coming out a little bit tonight. I found one of my fish trapped by sand in a live rock. He is actually doing pretty well.

They are all swimming around a bit. When I did the water change I lowered the salinity a bit too. They all came out for morning feeding so that was nice.

All fish are now doing great. I don't know what it was. I am just glad to see them swimming again.
