F8 All bent up :(

Post by blondenblue »

Hi im guessing well hoping its nothing to worry about but it really worried me. I just went upstairs and my F8 puffin was kinda floating about kinda mid tank with its tail tightly tucked in against his side. Kinda just being blown around the tank. i turned his light off and checked his params which were amonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate less than 20 after about 10 mins i turned the light back on and he uncurled really slowly and is now swimming about fine. Anything to worry about?
Thanks
Lis
