My Chromis Are Miserable
Two days ago I had 3 little blue-green chromis delivered. They were a bit shell-shocked at first, but I thought they'd be happy by now. They are about 1 1/2" (4cm) body length and seem to have got their colour back, but all the do is sit in mid-water being mean to each other. The smallest has done some more exploring. This morning they were all up at the top despite heavy aeration, and I did a partial water change which has brought them back to mid-water. The tank already has 3 little Indo-Pacific sergeants and 3 blennies, all off whom are happy as larry doing what happy fishies do, though one of my shrimp was distressed before the water change (ok now).
They are eating a little, but rejecting most, of the frozen marine mix and flake food I normally feed the others on, and ignored the sinking pellets I just tried. They aren't really foraging, just sitting.
Any thoughts?
PS I have a brown hair algae problem I'm working on, just treated with Dr Tim's de-nitrate&phosphate, which only arrived today.
