Hey guys,
Been browsing the boards for the last couple of years whenever I've had a fish question. Couldn't really find an answer for the issue I'm having now, so figured it was time to sign up.
I've had my angelfish roughly two years now. She's a darling. Went away for the weekend, and when I came back I found her sitting (right-side up) on the bottom of the tank. All the other fish in the tank seem to be acting normal, she's just floating near the bottom. Not upside down or doing any weird turns like I've seen others post about ... just sitting down there.
I know it's normal for fish to "rest" later at night, which is how I found her yesterday. Woke up this AM, though, and she was still hovering around the bottom. She's still eating, and is active when need be. She'll occasionally swim around, or chase some of the other fish, but she's spending most of her time just floating on the bottom. She's always been one to float around the mid/top level, so I figure this is a bit weird.
Some background on tank:
Size: 40 gallons
Other fish: Rainbow shark, three corys, bolivian ram, dwarf gourami, three tetras, three small schooling fish (forget their name)
Levels: Between 7.0-7.2 PH, 1.0 ppm ammonia, 0 nitrate, 77-78 degrees
Care: 15-20% water change every Saturday. Vacuum every other week.
The tank is relatively new. I upgraded from my 20 gallon about a month ago. Fish have been in the tank for ~two/three weeks.
I just did a 20% water change a few minutes ago to see if that helps out.
Below are a couple pictures. I took a video, but not sure I can upload to the board.
