I have xtreme krill flakes and big bites. I crush both up to be small enough. The healthy ones eat, the ones that look like they’re gasping for air just stay at the top. After doing more research, I think I may have been overdosing of seachem prime and depleted the oxygen of water. That’s my best guess as of now!

Hello everyone, I am running a planted (plants are growing like crazy- highly recommend AC light and fertilizer!) 10 gallon tank. It has an eheim 2215 filter on it (rated for 92 gallons). Stocking: honey gourami, Cpd, beckford pencilfish, cherry shrimp. the honey gourami, shrimp, 1 Cpd, and a couple of pencilfish are totally fine and seemingly in perfect health. The majority of pencilfish and CPDs are lingering near the surface (in pictures) as if there is a lack of oxygen in the tank. They don’t each much or at all. I figured it was an O2 issue, so I tried adding an air stone and adjusting the spray bar to add more agitation but they stayed like that. The gif that I attached is how I normally keep the spray bar for agitation My levels are fine (also picture attached). I add seachem prime when I do water changes. Temperature is around 76-77 F. I’m really at a loss why some of my fish are like this and I’m worried that they are going to die. these fish are relatively new (few weeks) but this behavior has been going on for about a week now. CPDs were bought from an LFS, Pencilfish were bought wholesale thank you for anyone with help or advice! I’m sorry that some of the pictures are upside down lol I’m new to the forum
