General Information

Stress Lines

Nearly all fish have a thing called a "stress line" that appears slightly above the midline of their abdomen when they are stressed out. This is an immediate appearance and disappearance thing, likely appearing and disappearing within 10 minutes or less. This is a really good marker of how well you are keeping them at a base level: no stress line, no problem!
