I believe Noddy 65 resides here & is also a breeder of Apistogrammas
I have recently placed 4 Apistogramma Trifasciatums into a holding tank to mature and settle down (quarantine) before they are released into a larger environment. I have just discovered one (2cm) of these is upside down and while making occasional attempts to right itself is cannot. The local fish-vet specialists are not available until tomorrow so I seek your advice on what measures I may take to assist the fish. water parameters are fine, no ammonia, no nitrite and barely measurable nitrate. Temp holding steady at 26 but.....a newly installed (& faulty) heater did allow the temp to drop to 15 for a period a week ago.
Any advice greatly appreciated
