Re: fahaka using only one gill
Your tap water is perfect. Do lots more water changes to get your tank's water to match your tap.
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

I suggest dechlorinating the water. Simply leaving it out may not get rid of chlorine / chloramines.
