Hey guys, I have a few Kuhli Loaches and one of them has begun to pace the glass frantically, right on the bottom, as fast as I've ever seen a kuhli swim. It goes on sometimes for over an hour. Then it hangs out for maybe ten minutes, winding its way through the vegetation and rooting out worms. Then it begins this awful pacing. It plows into other fish and steamrolls right over them so much that the blue ram gets ticked off and starts to really nip at him. The kuhli has torn up some plants and is really annoying to watch - kind of messes up my aquarium gazing meditation.
Oh, and sometimes another loach will swim into the crazy one's path and he'll settle down and nestle with it for a minute or two and then its time to pace like mad again.
His (hers?) gills looked maybe a tad reddish and since there'd been an infestation of gill flukes or some other gill parasite, I thought maybe he'd caught them again so I dosed with Life Bearer (removed shrimp first!). I'm hoping this may work.
Previously, the the mad loach hung out under the driftwood with his buddies and came out at times all through the day and night to snuffle around and root out worms. Now he never goes under the wood, even in daytime.
Help! this mad loach is driving ME mad! Not one other fish in my tank paces for more than a minute or two. I'm worried about the little guy.
nh3/4=0, no2=0, no3=5ppm, ph 6.4, temp 78º-80º
