have you been using "PRIME" as a dechlor? If not get some, it may save the fish
 
BGK tuff fish. hopefully you are using prime on water changes, dosed for size of tank not water replacing, add before adding new water. sorry can not mention prime with out throwing in the rest.hope all goes well from here on.

yes ," what pops said"..... PRIME will de- toxify ammonia , and nitrites ,and nitrates I am sorry I thought of this so late in the game...go to lfs NOW...and get some, even petsmart /petco usually have some...this stuff can save your stock...dose fore FULL TANK x2 to start AND THEN every other day( normal dose) after that, until fish are stable and final tank is cycled, my apologies for not thinking of this before:(
 
if tank is not cycled you will need to do water changes every other day if fish in, I would do a 70% or fin level and dose before re-filling. reason for every other day is prime lasts up to 48 hours and will handle up to 2ppm, keep in mind it does not remove the toxins, just renders them inert for 48 hours, after that any bound ammonia, nitrite or nitrate well be released Do you have a python to do your water changes?
 
I did forget to say "change water every other day",,,sorry I am losin' it lately...70% seems ok , on the top end..I might opt for about 50% , but either is better than less than those #'s
 
I am a more is better when changing water type guy. all my tanks get fin level changes every week. was twice a week on the 180 but have split some stock to a 75g to bring bio load down so only need to do them all once a week. OP please keep in mind these are cycled tanks. while cycling you need to do every other day. :)

The 90g had a mini cycle but is finished due to using a seeded filter. I will look at params today.

And yes I have a python. And I did a 50% water changes Monday evening.
