I bought a Royal Gramma 2 days ago, it seemed ok till a little while ago but now it's swimming around upside down and in circles then it stops and kinda floats to the top for a bit then repeats the process.
I have 2 anemonies in the tank, could it be possible that it got stung?
I tested the water and it's fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
 
Ifloated the bag for about 40 mins then added some of my water, waited 15 mins, repeated then i netted out of the bag.
I tested my water and it seemed fine.
Then i took the fish and a water sample back to the lfs, they tested the water everything was ok so they gave me another fish.
 
humm well whats "everything" cause at most stores everything is only about half of what needs to be tested but im glad u got a new fish! acclimation is best done with a drip line because that way they get exposed to ur water at a constant rate and more evenly and also u dont introduce any water for the store. i always tell my customers not to add our water cause all the fish that come in and out.
