	wcmm at bottom of tank
toreador Small Fry Posts: 10 Kudos: 6 Votes: 0 Registered: 22-Jun-2004	One of my white cloud mountain minnows has been spending a lot of his time in a back corner of the aquarium next to the gravel. The other fish appear ok, and this one has no signs of disease other than this sluggishness. The water parameters are all fine and are consistent - pH of 6.2, zero nitrite, nitrates of 20, and hardness of about 75. I change the water on a regular basis. No new ornaments or changes to the aquarium. What could be wrong and what treatment should I take if any?

Other than he seems to like to lay in the one corner, everything physical appears ok.... perhaps it is stress-related? He is the smallest of the wcmm's but just started this behavior recently.

I'd say enter hover mode and keep a real close eye on him.. Study it's eating and pooping habits for any irregularities, and how the other fish treat it. The Amazon Nut...
