MY sister recently bought my 6 glass tetras. Anyways, they were put into a tank just yesterday and most are doing just fine. The water parameters are ammonia=0 nitrates=0 nitrite=6
five of them are swimming around, occasionally chasing eachother, but not really doing any damage. They all swim around a few plants and a plastic cave. on the other side of the tank though, theres one who just sits there, being unsocial, and seems to struggle to break free from the filter when pulled near. (not a very strong filter)
None of them show any signs of any illness, except theres a wierd tiny lump between their dorsal and claudal fin. it's the same color as they are (beige-ish) and im wondering what it is. it looks like a very tiny fin...
Anyone have any ideas what it is? They're all in a group now, but one of them has long feces hanging out of him...that's stress isnt it? how would i relieve his stress?
