I have 2 pacu, two huge plecos, and one big Oscar currently I'm a 60 to 80 gallon bath tub with only a battery air pump and no power. Had huge snow storm and had to move then inside from their temporary 1000 gallon heated pond since there was no power and it is filled with snow. They have been doing good and I've been boiling snow to keep them and all my other tanks heated as we won't have power or running water for possibly 2 weeks. I do water changes and the constant changes in temperature have cause their eyes to cloud but im more worried about keeping them alive. I have no filter, only a big bottle of ammonia detoxifier that I've been using, water is cloudy but warm, and pacu are belly up. I've medicated them regularly also yo prevent infections or diseases and have a bottle of stress coat on the way as they've already been without power or food for 5 day and their slime coat is destroyed. My arowana also had many sores and his slime coat hangs from his fine as he swims. Anything I can do besides continue to dose them and add stress coat? Any suggestions, questions or co

Unfortunately I can't check the water parameters or I would but I may be able to add salt to maybe lower the stress and ik it helps with other things too. Thanks for the help!
I live outside of a very small town with only 1 grocery store and am about an hour from the nearest fish store but I may try to separate them if I can find the space
Table salt works? I might have to try that but I'll do see research first to be sure
I have non-iodized salt that I added which should be fish safe because there is no iodine
