My Opaline Gourami has been jumping alot in the past 2 days.
The first time he hit the glass canopy and knocked himself silly. The second time he managed to escape and fell on the floor. Several other times he has hit the canopy and has a bruised eye now and missing scales.
Two things have changed. I cleaned the tank real good and cleaned the heater so the temps dropped to about 72 and then back to 78 with the heater back on. I also started using prime and the python directly from the tap.
The tank is a 40T (3feet long) moderately planted with about 20 cories, 5 black neons, 5 otots, 1 unidentified (less than 2 inch) pleco and a few danios and a female opaline gourami.
PH is 6.8 (stable range for tank is around 7.
Ammonia/nitrite/nitrate alll test at 0.
