Hello again,
Our little Max has started swimming a bit weirdly- his tail is curling down when he is floating at the top of the tank and he can't seem to keep it up like normal. I can't work out what is causing it! He ate a bit of a plant a couple of weeks back and I haven't found much poop since then (although some of it may be all powdery on the bottom of the tank!).
Ph/nitrates/nitrites etc were fine when I checked them on Tuesday (I'm just about to go to bed- will check again in the morning!), the only thing skewiff is temp- we are managing to keep it around 20c with a fan and frequent ice bottle changes- still too hot we know but we don't have many other choices. I can't see any obvious swellings or discolouration that would indicate any blockage which would be making his tail heavy... Other than this he seems quite happy! Hopefully I will be attaching a picture- not a very good one but I got it quickly before bed so I could attach it to here!
Thanks for any help,
Sally and Dom
