In Reply to: Glowlight Tetras dancing posted by Timinator on March 17, 2003 at 10:09:18:
:I have a glowlight tetras who looks like it's dancing. Basically, it is almost always pointing upward and looks like it is having difficulty remaining horizontal like a normal fish should. There is something wrong for sure.. my guess is that one of it's fins are sore and it hurts him to use it.. is there a cure for this?? I also have a neon starting, what appears to be, neon desease.. part of it's skin is turning white (almost as if though it's rotting alive) is there a cure for this too? Any help on these questions would greatly be appreciated.

Hi Tim, What is your PH level? Tetras are going to like it a little soft. They don't react well otherwise. I learned this the hard way. You really need to strive for 6.8, but don't change it too quickly if you are higher than that. You need to do it gradually. This might be your problem since you have more than one type of tetra reacting with not similar symptoms. You might want to try medicating with something like super sulfa and some aloe vera, but not until you correct any PH or ammonia problem if there is one. Let us know how this is going...
