Hi,
I bought 11 ember tetras to my 60p 3 days ago and since then I have found their behavior abit odd.
Sometimes they are hiding in back corner of the tank, near the outlet, close to the bottom. When they do this they are not very interested in food. 1-2 maybe take a swim for the falling pellet.
The first few hours when light and co2 goes on they swim in the front of the tank, against the strong current next to the diffusor. They also swim up and down like crazy, looking either like they have the time of their lives, or are desperate to get out.
At night the usually prefer the stiller water close to the outlet, but they are more active in this area, interested in food as well.
Are they just acclimating still or maybe shy?
What I dont understand is how they can be active, swimming around at start of light period, then look like they hate their lives a few hours later.
Drop checker is green and I guess they would go to the surface if they had problem with too high co2?
Water parameter show 0 nh4 and no2
No other fish, just 10 small amanos and 10 neocaridina
