True Percs are acting weird? Help

joem1cha3l · 03/27/2011, 02:50 PM

hey guys i added a mated pair of true percs to my tank on friday and they have acted weird since. They were both in the corner of the tank completely vertical , tip to tip all day. Now they are in separate corners of the tank completely vertical. I found a trace amount of ammonia that im dealing with but im doing daily water changes. Is this normal behavior?

Sounds normal to me. When I first got my pair of clowns, they always wedge themselves between the heater and the corner of the tank with their heads pointing down.

What are you feedin them? You may want to check with the store you purchased them from and see what they were feeding them before.

You shouldn't have any fish in there if there are trace amounts of amonia, and yeah, that is going to affect how they act and lack of appetite.
How long has tank been running?
