Question: C.Orientalis Mental Attack

[Holding2k9]

ok so after 2 weeks i cleaned my tank out that holds my 8 c.orientalis.
the procedure took me several hours to make sure everything was perfect.
and when it came to putting my newts back in all but one seemed fine.

this particular newt my biggest male decided to keep spinning up side down and twitching.

i immediately took him out of the water and placed him in my rehab tanks .

has anyone experienced this before? and is it major?

I had issues like that when i was a little kid and put newts into water with chlorine(there are sooo many things one ignores when he is a kid...).
That kind of behaviour points to water chemistry/quality...did it look normal once it was out of the water?

it seemed fine yes and i have used water conditioner to reduce chlorine .

they all seem fine now and are commencing with their feeding n breeding
