    Zebra Danio Problem

    A couple of my Danios seem to be "floating" at the surface. Its not like they look when they are dying, its like they swim down and then they just float up, like they cant stay down. it just looks really weird. Any suggestions as to what may be wrong? I did just switch them from one tank to another, could it be the stress thats making them act funny?

    Were the water parameters and temperature the same between both tanks ?

    Possibly not. Hopefully they'll pull through if they are acclimating.

    Yeah, that could be the problem then. If it is they should be fine. They're pretty hardy fish.

    I moved them out of the 55 to make room for the cichlids i was given today. I'm glad I have to tank because I have these 2 red eye tetras that were attacking my fish, they killed 2 blood fin tetras and zebra already.

    That really surprises me. They're supposed to be peaceful.
