Please help! 100% accidental water change.

[Larryfish]

I was doing a water change on my 55 gallon which Is well established. And took my dog out. My.dog got off the leash which in turn took like 15 minutes to get. I come back in. All my fish are on bare gravel. I put about 45 gallons of water back in. And triple dosed prime. (SAfe up to five times dose ) And put a wavemaker in and started the filter up. The fish have bubbles on them. Not ich. Actuall bubbles. Don't think it's dropsy either. What do I do ???????

Their slime coat is damaged, you added alot of water with dissolved gasses which is now releasing in the aquarium. There is not a whole lot you can do now other than aerate the tank as much as you can. The fish are probably gasping too right?

Just leave the fish be there hopefully won't be any deaths. It's more of an irritant but can sometimes be fatal to more sensitive fish. The slime coat that comes off can rebuild.

Whenever I clean up my tank with fresh water , I notice bubbles on fishes & tank .
After few hours tank inside surface is full with bubbles & next day it leaves water marks on tank.
What should I do?

Carbon dioxide. It gasses off on it's own

You can age the water beforehand. Put it in a barrel or tank and leave it for a day or 2 and it should gas out

I never leave my tank when doing water changes

The bubbles are normal, they will pop or float up sooner or later
