Fast ways of adding oxygen?! Help.

[Hanson]

My fish were just fine a hour ago but are now laying on the bottom breathing really fast... are there any ways of adding oxygen into a fish tank w/o me having to make a late night walmart trip?

Thanks

No I found out what was wrong.... nitrogen bubbles. I don't really think there is anything I can do about those.

What exactly did you buy from Wal-Mart that could have killed your fish?

 

[KAWAMIKIE]

Gulping at the surface would be lack of air.

Is your tank cycled?
What are your water parameters?

Figure out whats going on and correct it before you get new fish.

Your fish have the bends?

It isn't nitrogen bubbles. And I don't think you can really blame Walmart.

Did you do a water change and forget the dechlor? Usually when thing go bad in an hour, user error is the most likely cause.

"nvr buying from wal-mart again."

I think it should be the other way around:

Walmart should never sell fish to you again.
