Ok I was out of town for about 4 days with the fish on a auto feeder that probably under feeds them a little but they are all well fed and didnt think it would be any problem at all. On Saturday I get home and everyone is 100% fine. Then Sunday morning I start noticing my largest Red Zebra(male I am pretty sure) acting very strange laying on the bottom in strange positions tight up against rocks then hiding up top between filter intakes and the tank. He is being very very Lethargic and now is getting beat up by the 2 smaller Red zebras in the tank and his rear fin is showing the damage. His color is still fine and I have been keeping the lights off to hopefully lower stress. Yesterday I did a 40-50% water change. The water condition was fine before the change and remains fine after.
Temp: 79-80
GH: 180
KH: 240
Ph: 8
Nitrate:0
Nitrite:0
Ammonia:0
He is still showing some appetite though not feeding as aggressively as normal. Everything else
in the tank appears 100% good even the ghost shrimp that hides always and the 1" Red zebra fry.
This tank is about 2 weeks new for me I bought it and moved it pretty successfully not losing any fish before I moved it was setup for about 2 years.
5 Yellow labs
3 White ones with red eyes
4 Giraffe
3 Red zebra(plus a 1in orange baby)
2 German Red
1 Striped one that looks kinda like a convict
1 Black shark with a red tail
1 Synodontis spotted cat
