Im kind of worried. I admit, I was a bit far behind on waterchanges. It's been a busy summer so for the most part she has had mostly just spot cleaning and small waterchanges as I have had time. Today I did about a 40% waterchange, and removed everything from the tank and rinsed it off using the old water to make sure there was nothing stuck on them(poop/old food, anything like that), these consists of two hides and three fake plants, though I only placed two plants back in the tank. I cleaned all the sand. I did not touch the filter. She lives in a 20 gallon long tank on her own.
But once I was done I noticed she was kind of going nuts? She has been swimming back and fourth sporadically and moving non stop. Normally I do see her walking across the bottom of the tank a few times a day and she comes for feeding time, but she has been swimming all over the place nonstop since I changed her water. I do chlorinate my water and let it sit out for a few days before I add it to the tank.
Was it just the excitement of the change or did I do something that is causing this behavior? She doesn't ha e a curled tail or gills that I can tell, she is just way more active than she normally is.
