Hey everybody,
I have a 135G FOWLR which I just cycled with raw shrimp, did a water change, and then put in 3 domino damsels.
They were fine at first, they were a little freaked out but they would eat. They would hide whenever I went near the tank which I figured was probably pretty normal at first.
I noticed though that they are sitting near the bottom and not swimming around like I thought damsels do. I uploaded a video here:

The video was taken as soon as I turned the lights on. Eventually they did start to swim around a little bit, but completely ignored the food I put in there.
I didn't quarantine the damsels, which was really dumb of me I know...
The water parameters are ammonia and nitrites - 0... nitrates ~5. Salinity is 1.023.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Is there something else I should be testing for? If any other info is needed please let me know..
