Hi all

Looking for some advice with a sick Chromis

Today one of my Chromis started acting odd, it has spent most of the day stuck at the top of the tank almost with its head out of the water.

At feeding times it has joined the rest and has feed well, but as soon as the food is gone its back to the top of the tank again.

Normally at lights out all the chromis head behind one of the rocks for the night but tonight as soon as the lights went out this one stayed out and then started swimming about, although it is swimming at an odd angle.

The water parameters all seem ok

Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 5
pH 8.23
SG 1.023
Temp 27 A little high but in the Costa Kent I cannot get it down

Anyone got any thoughts on what the problem may be.

Thanks

Paul
