OK, I'll include allll the details leading up to this in case it helps.
I just moved out of town, leaving my fish in the care of my family. When I came home the other day, I fed my 'monster' tank, including my 2 foot TSN. They hadnt eaten in a few days, and I expected a frenzy, but my TSN went so far as to suck in a shrimp and spit it back out. I left the 10 or so shrimp sitting on the bottom, and they were gone in a couple of hours. I dunno who ate them.
Since I've been out of town, I do waterchanges whenever I can make it back, so I did a water change on all three of my tanks, but immediately after I did a change on my 220gl tank (not the TSN tank) my BGK up and died. I thought this was odd, but all the other fish in the tank seemed OK, so I didn't really think too much of it.
All that was yesterday. Today I did a mass rearrange on my fishes, to move the biggest fish into the biggest tanks, and the smallest fishes into the smallest tanks. This included moving my 2 foot tsn into my 220gl tank. I also moved a silver aro and an apure cat into the tank at the same time.
The tsn fought very hard on the move, and he sustained some minor fin damage, but that's all. He was happily swimming around his new tank right away. About an hour after moving him though, there were barfed up shrimp all over the tank, and he was laying upside down. I don't know if he was the one who barfed up the shrimp or not. The silver aro and the apure catfish seem quite normal.
I'm right now in the middle of an 80% or so waterchange, as I suspect something got into the tank yesterday with the waterchange. I'm adding salt with this change, and hoping for the best, but my boy really isn't looking too good. He's listless too. I picked him up by hand and he had almost no energy.
Anyone have any advice!? Should I risk moving him back to his old tank? I am torn, I think pulling him out of the water again might be so stressful it does him in.
