Hello,
For a little over a month I am the owner of a royal gramma. In the beginning he was a bit stressed because of his new enviroment but he seemd to have adapted quickly.
But yesterday I started to notice some strange behavior. He is hiding all day underneath a rock and what looks like heavy breathing. The picure shows one of the spots where he is hiding all day. Sometimes he will move to another spot but thats it. It almost looks like he is afraid of me. It also seems that he is spooked by the other fish in the tank. It almost looks like the behavior when I first added him to the tank. A few days ago he was totaly fine, he had absolutely no problem with the other fish in the tank.
He doesn't even come out when I go and feed. I feed every day at the same time.
The two clowns, hermit and cleaner shrimp seem to be doing fine.
I also added a piece of GSP coral in my tank recently, but it didn't seem to have botherd him.
He doesn't have any discoloration or spots on his body, so I think he is just stressed, but I cant figure out why and what to do about it. His behavior just came out of the blue. I hope you guys can help me a bit with this one.
I'm quite new to fish keeping, and I don't know what is wrong.
I checked my parameters and they seem to be fine:
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0
Salinity: 1.025sg
Temp: 26C
