    Default Amano molting problem

    Hi guys, I got a tank with an amano, some cherrys and crs, all seem to be doing fine, except the amano, he molted today, and now he seems to be having seizures, he's jerking around, and cant seem to control the lower part of his body which is catatonic.

    his claws seem to be jerking around to some extent too, I see his full molt in the tank so there shouldnt be a problem there, but i hope someone has some insight into this
