I had a bit of a nightmare when I had my three F8s at first...the tank was cycled, but the bacteria weren't able to support three fish....plus I was overfeeding them
It took a couple of weeks of daily 50% changes..sometimes twice daily, to keep the nitrItes down till the tank cycled. Sadly Freddie died from an internal parasite, which, I hate to say, helped the bioload a bit.
If the remaining two don't look stressed, then you may be coming out of the woods..just keep up those changes and keep us posted.
