Smallest Zebra swimming behind filter tube...

[lilsilkk1112]

Whats wrong wit him. He is with 4 others, all bigger, but they seem to play all together most of the time. this past day or two though he is staying behind the filter tube in one place.

is this disease coming on? if so, should i start by adding aquarium salt?

the tank was completely cycled for over a week now. it cycled with 2 Zebra and a Dwarf Gourami. I added 3 Zebra after a week of no nitrites...

Let me know what you think. No spots or anything on him though..

no i dont think it disease - maybe the bigger ones played a little too rough with him and scared him off. i doubt that they meant to hurt him.

Just keep an eye on him and hopefully he'll get his confindence back

I agree. I have one smaller leopard danio that likes to stay behind the filter tube or at the base of the plants and hide w/o playing until its food time I think she's just shy.

Obviously watch it though and make sure its not having troubles...but if the only thing thats wrong is that its not playing as much as the others I wouldn't worry too much.
