Ryan1988 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Hello All, I could use some advice, Last night I did a 25% water change and added my first piece of real wood. I boiled this would for 20 mins and allowed to cool. This afternoon I noticed some aggressive behavior? I question this because google also said it could be mating. 2 glow fish were chasing / nipping at 1 other glow fish. I did a water quality test everything looks normal though the ph might be slightly lower, I say might because the strips are colors not numbers and i'm slightly color blind so who knows. If there are any remaining tanins after boiling can this lower the ph? If so, is less than 24 hrs to soon to do a partial water change. I have attached a picture of the current color/status of the tank. Thank you all! Ryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Anytime I rearrange or add/take away anything from a tank the fish all re-establish dominance/territory rights. It could be this wood triggered them to mate also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
