Only one of my fish is appearing and acting off in the entire tank. It's (male Apisto) hanging out vertical at the top of the tank and appears listless and dark in color. I put a net near it to see the reaction and then netted it and it didn't appear to try to get away.

I JUST did a tank change and tested the tank right before that. At one day past due for cleaning, ammonia is .25ppm and nitrates and nitrites came back at 0.

I did a 50% water change this time to induce spawning.

So I don't see how this could be ammonia or nitrite poisoning...

Nvm. It was ammonia poisoning. I retested the water and it was the SAME. I don't know why the water change didn't make ANY difference.
