jmp3475 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I just did my first water change. The water looked a little cloudy so I change about 50 %. I add everything I needed to like I should after a water change as well as testing the water for ammonia etc. I let my Tetras get acclimated to the temp before I placed them in the tank. After placement, they are now at the surface sucking for air? What should I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaitieG Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Just a quick question--were the tetras new purchases or did you take them out to change the water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBOzzie59 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 What are the water parameters? Has the tank cycled? I'm guessing either ammonia, chlorine or incorrect dose of something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmp3475 Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 The tetras were not new and as far as I know I added the accurate measurements. Its been cycling for 2 weeks now. I only have 3 Tetras in a 10 gallon. I only wanted a few to help the cycle move along a bit better. Once all was good I planned on adding 2 more cause I know they need a school. My ph is 6.8-7ish. My high range ph is below 7.4. My ammonia is 0.25ish, a bit high, and my nitrite and nitrate are both 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmp3475 Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 They seem to maybe be getting better. They are no longer at the top. But staying still in their own spots gulping it looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmp3475 Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 They are slowly starting to move around. I think they will be okay. Thanks for the help!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
