Hi, please help!
I have a 30G tank with 2 x Per clowns, 1 x Lemonpeel dwarf angel, 1 x mandarin
Tank has been cycled for about 3 months.
Added the 2 clowns when it was cycled, lemonpeel about 2 weeks later and mandarin a week after that.
Lemonpeel is now lying on the substrate, not swimming.
Until now she has been shy, but quite active and entertaining.
Parameters:
Nitrite: about 0.01
Nitrate: 0.04
Salinity: 1.023
Ammonia: 0.25 according to the API test, but I don't trust that because when I test straight water it shows 0, then I add salt and it shows 0.25 in the bucket (I posted about this here and heard that API can give false positives)
2 clowns and Mandarin all seem fine.
All fish seem to have gone off the flakes and pellets and only want the frozen brine shrimp. Then they eat happily.
Lemonpeel does appear to have some fin damage on her left fin. No other injuries.
What can I do???
