have a yearling in a 20 gal
did great until now, it stays afloat and wont eat.
i transfered it to one of my other setups, and it does not want to be in the water ,stays on driftwood. i heard if i put a little salt or ich med it may help if it has any parasites, or regular faucet water since it is lightly chlorinated.i also had 2 common snappers that did the same and died,i had wild caught minnows in the snapper tank and everything was fine for months,until they started staying out of the water,
??///maybe the minnows had some bacteria, but the spiny had no fish, only fed pellets, help
thanks
