[tiddlywinks]

my male midas knocked down my divider and almost killed my female FH
she is know in a 20 gal tank with salt and be held right side up up in 2 nets with a bubler next to her. she is mt 1st FH i ever had she is an old girl. she might not make it but im praying for the best!!
is ther any ting else i can do?

I dont think u should hold her up with anything. Leave her on her own however she lays. Calm moving current is good.

Good luck.

i have hope!

i have hope!

if she's not stiff. She'll make it. Make sure water is at the good temp. 82-86. If she could move she will make it. That's why you have hope.

First FH is a special fish

ya she is in the corner kinda on her side she is breathing tho

 

[Water]

Don't put the bubbler next to her. A lot of water movement could stress her out more. Keep the water as clean as possible. Good luck.

its not that close like 7-8 inches away

Floaters basically never come back their organs already started shutting down at that point. Just remember you did your best and **** happens. It always sucks losing a fish but don't let it get you down. After a while a dead fish just means free tank space.

she isnt floating yet she still breathing she mad it through the nite.
i do hate losing fish over a year old tho.
