So I get home from work today and go check on my tank. Everything seems fine, until I go to find all the fish.
One of the places the plecos like to stay is upside-down on the bottom of my driftwood, so I look there, and instead of being stuck to the wood, one of my plecos is laying on his/her back on the gravel about 1/2" below it. I think to myself "Oh, no!" and I tap on the side of the tank with my hand, when I do that the fish jerks, and after the second time it swims back up and re-attaches to the underside of the driftwood. Is this even semi-normal?
My water params are:
PH 6.6
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0
I've got a 165G tank, containing:
Several live plants
15 neon tetras
1 dwarf puffer
3 bristlenoses.
Is my fish just clutzy and it "fell out of bed", or do you think I've got a bigger problem here? All the other fish are behaving normally.
Thanks!
