Hi everyone!
In my current 40 gallon tank i have 9 tiger barbs, 2 dwarf gouramis, 4 cherry barbs, 3 armored catfish, 2 peppered catfish, 2 nerite snails, and 5 ottos. Yesterday evening i noticed right before feeding my catfish, that my two peppered catfish are hovering about 5.5 inches above the sand. They stay in the same left hand corner of the tank. Once i come closer, they settles down and start digging in the sand again. I changed the water 3 days ago, and my ammonia, nitrite, and nitrated levels are all at 0. I also have plants in my tank. Could their behavior indicate a disease, or they are starting to breed?
Please reply as soon as possible!!
THANKS!!
