I'm not sure if anyone answered you ... what exactly are the symptoms?
Bloody-looking discharge from the nose? Could be stress of a new
location, I've had that happen before. Could be an allergy to something
in the tank. It wouldn't hurt to give them a round of antibiotic (use
Ornacycline & follow the directions for small birds). If it turns out
to be allergy-related, though, it'll just come back until you remove the
offending substance.
