Hey guys,
Just a quick, panicky question; my Crystal Reds are going nuts, and by that I mean, suddenly swimming a short distance, sometimes upwards, other times straight forward, and then "passing out" for a while; they sink down on their backs, and just lay there for a bit. They all look very lethargic at the moment.
Things were fine until about a half an hour ago, when I decided to do some trimming and a WC (50%); it basically started when I started trimming. My hands were not tainted with anything as far as I know, and the water parameters are all just fine, and identical to normal. Maybe stress, but that would be a first, they've never acted like this when I was doing maintenance before.
What could be causing this, and should I be worried? It looks like they're all about to keel over.
Any help is welcome, did a quick Google, but found nothing.
Thanks!
