Hello everyone
I just got an 10G aquarium for christmas, and currentll have 2 Balas and an albino Redfin shark. I started out with 2 pictus catfish because the morons at walmart told me they are a good beginner species. both died within 3 weeks of fin rot. the two balas are doing fine, hanging out with each other and eating fine, but the red fin i have only had for a few days. im beginning to understand more but when i first got him he didnt move from a little nook on the edge of a pirate wheel. the next day he was nestled underneath the heater and didnt move all day. he just sits there and does nothing all day long. is this normal for his species? i read that albinos dont like the light so i removed one of the hood bulbs to cast more shadow on part of the tank. he moved around more but still isnt swimming around like the balas. Also he looks like hes got fish scoliosis. his back is arched all the time.
anyone have any advice?
