It is an emergency guys plz help me out .. had 2 pairs of green terror of about 5 inches each with a pair of 9 inches oscar for over 2 months in a 220G tank .. every parameter is within normal limit.. as a normal day i went to office and when i get back to see a dead green terror.. and 2 GT swirling round without balance .. I find the fins torn .. and 1st time i am seeing white poop from the beaten up GT .. now I dono wat to do.. plz help
 
Have you seen any aggression or signs of spawning?
White poop can be a sign of a problem, but could also be from diet or not eating/stress if there has been bullying going on.

Do you have a microscope by chance? Or have access to someone who does?

I’d be watching for aggression and be ready to move some fish around.

So sorry about the loss of the one gt. :( not something anyone wants to come home to.
 
Couldn’t find a microscope .. one GT is upside down for sometime and tries to get back .. sit in the normal position for a minute and again becomes upside down .. what to do plz help .. I have seperated the 2 GTs to hospital tank .. have reduced the water depth and have bumped the temp ..

What to do after this .. plz help
 
Sounds like a swim bladder problem. You can add 1/4tps *epsome salt* for every 10g of water and don’t feed for 2-3days.
Not to be a downer.... but I’ve only had this problem with fish twice. One time the fish pulled through after a couple days and the other did not. It will depend on how much damage was done. I really hope they both make it ok for you.

If they were showing signs of a problem before it could be that they have been sick and it’s just reached its worst point right now causing the torn fins and swim bladder problem.
You could make a post in the emergency forum so those more experienced can help you out. My experience is limited.
