Hello,
Well my Tigar barb is looking a bit ickie. He is hanging out in the corner of the tank about 80% of the time facing the bottom of the tank (tail toward the top of the tank). He did come out last night when I fed them. Also enjoyed swimming around in the ways that the new water made when being poured into the tank. I'm don't think this is because of the tank cycling, but from stress. One of the green barb is very aggesive toward the other two. I'm planning a trip to the petstore today to get some more plants, so I'm hoping with more places to hide that will ease the stress levels. Keep in mind this is a new tank still cycling. Although at 1.5 weeks old the levels are ph 78, Ammonia 0 and Nitrite 0. I did a 10% water change a little bit after those test results. I can't test for Nitrates right now, since my testing kit didn't come with one, so I will be picking on of those up today also.
Anyways Thanks for any commands, suggests, etc
