Hey guys, got a question about a RES.
My res has been doing great in his tank, it's 125 gallon, 2 fx6 filters, and a 25 watt uv sterilizer. Recently however he has been showing extreme signs of stress such as frantically swimming around, trying to use his dock to look for a escape and digging under rocks. Seems like he is looking to get out of his tank which is a behavior he never exhibited before.
The tank parameters are as perfect as I can get, no ammonia or nitrites, nitrates are kept very low with water changes. Uvb, uva are freshly changed. Not sure why he is stressing out, does anyone have any experience with this or how to calm him down?
( he was recently taking to the vet as well, had blood ran, x-ray, ultrasound done - all fine and very healthy)
