Hi, i have 2 baby res and they have ben eating fine so far, then yesterday i put acouple of fish in there for them. They sorta ripped apart a couple of them so i removed all of them, and now today they dont seem to have been interested in food at all. The water temp is 85 degrees and their basking spot is 87 degrees. Anybody know what could be wrong?

The water temp is too warm. Bring it down to 75 degrees.

I responded to the email you sent you me privately. I think they are probably fine.

Your water temp is way too hot. Lower it to about 76-78.
Your basking temp should be 85-90 degrees.

It may just be too warm

Let us know if anything else develops
