Hi everyone, i was away this weekend and my black ghost knife fish is acting very strange and im worried about it. She has a rip in her fins and she is swimming very strange. I have her in a 55 gallon tank but this is temperarly as i will be upgrading to a 180 gallon very soon. Shes 4 in. I think she may have ammonia poison. If so, how do i solve it! Please i need help

Do a water change asap and make sure you add dechlorinator. Also how often do you do water changes and do have a test kit? If you have a test kit test your parameters and list them so members can better understand what is going on.
Im actually doing a huge water change right know, after that i will list the paraments
Ammonia 0 ppmOk great
Ph 7.6
Nitrites 0 ppm
Nitrates 0 ppm
My water conditions are good, but shes still swimming weird should i just give her time?
Tank mates: 3, 2 in clown loaches and 4 3 in silver dollars. These are all also going into the 180 gallon, but there perfectly fine
It almost seems like shes crippeled. Shes is trying her best to swim but she cant swim very much. Is there anything else i shoud do?
Is there any tank mates in with her?
Sounds like your tank isn't cycled, nitrate should be more then 0ppm

Also, you should have tested the water you took OUT, not the tankwater after you put the freshwater back IN. That tells us nothing.
Ive had this tank for almost 5 months, the only tank mates are 3 small clown loaches and 4 small silver dollars. Theve all grown up together. I will be getting a 150 gallon soon and they are all going in there
