HELP PLEASE

[amv123]

so i looked at my fish this morning when i left for class all was fine. I get home and my 4 in mono is floating upside down but still breathing. i quickly put his in his own tank but he keeps floating upside down, however is still breathing. i put him it a net with a chopstick on his side to hold him upright. i really dont know wat to do any ideas?

Try putting him in front of the filter output.....? A wc.

 

[mahemaheman85]

have you checked your temp, tank params?? could something fallin into the tank??

 

[Taboojen]

Definately check the parameters of the water. Is it a new tank? If so, nitrite and ammonia might be too high?

 

[amv123]

man this sucks...he didnt make it my water params are fine and the other fish in the tank are healthy but i think that my bigger cichlid may have killed him its the only explanation.

where there evident signs that it was beaten by the other fish? where scales or fins missing?

 

[amv123]

ye his fin looked torned up and he look beat up. ph is 7.6-7.8 temp is 77 no ammonia in the water either

 

[le patron]

then he was probably beaten down by the other cichlid...may i ask what type of cichlid that would be?
