Hello everyone, I recently upgraded from a 120G to a 180G tank. I moved my fish in two days ago at night while they were asleep. (It was so easy and I didn't have to chase them down!)
Yesterday and today my fish have been breathing heavily. My foxface, on night one, was swimming back and forth the tank nonstop. All the other fish hid and just acted like they do when they're asleep at night.
My foxface is no longer swimming back and forth, frantically, but it is still breathing heavily. My naso, however, is doing this now. It will swim from left to right and then swim very fast back to the left side of the tank and bang against the glass as if it were trying to get out of the aquarium..:|.
Other than my naso acting the way it is, all my fish are acting normal, excluding their breathing. They are still eating. Oh, my flame angel is hiding a lot more but does come out of the rocks from time to time.
Are they just stressed because of the sudden new changes in rock work and tank?
What can I do? I have four powerheads and have two overflows, so I'm sure they're getting enough circulation in oxygen...
Ps: I feel so bad, but when I was catching my fish to place them in a temporary tank while I set up the new tank... I somehow forgot about my wrasse and a cardinal...
I didn't even see/notice them in the tank... But I did remember the brittle stars and the sand sifting starfish. I feel so bad.
