Question

I just added 2 more fish to my 10 gallon tank. The other fish I had before is not acting like herself now. I can't move the fish to another tank. How can I help her?

Answer 1

Put in rocks or different items inside so she can hide in them until she is more comfortable.

Answer 2

it might be because of the two fish. let your fish in the same tank for a few days, but if that doesnt work, try separating your 2 new fish and your first fish. then, see if she acts any better

Answer 3

let her get use to her new friends and if she doesn't get better you should put her in a diffrent tank and you should check if there compatible (sorry for spelling)

Answer 4

If she's acting distressed you can provide more hiding places. If she is just hiding and such, she is being shy around the other fish and will grow out of it with feeding and such. Look for aggressive behavior from the other fish, if they don't display any then she is just being shy.
