The others are doing so-so. They seem to be slow moving.
I stopped feeding hopefully to help the ammonia level also,
as a water change was done this pm.

Sometimes a water change can be detrimental. I know in the real old days it
was said to do water changes when problems occur, but now we know if there
is ammonia in the water and we do a water change with water of a higher pH
we make the situation worst. Better is to check your pH if you have ammonia
showing, if your pH is 7.5 and your changing water is same or less, then by
all means do the change. Better though is to use a product that detoxs the
ammonia before doing the water changes. Amquel or Chloram-X are two
products that will dechlor and detox ammonia. Use salt to keep brown blood
disease from happening when the nitrites start showing up. ~ jan
