I bet when you removed the gravel...bam! no bb, as in benificial bacteria.

that's my thought..all the bacteria are gone with the gravel.

since i've move the gravel to different tank i just take it out and put the gravel back in there.

my wide bar and indo are not swim but still sitting up and the same spot.

what is the best way for me to do now?

all my other fish as p-bass, parrot, NGT, black aro are doing find except all my Dats.

Cross your fingers bro,

 

[StIcKy~RiCe]

yea i am....not looking to good right now. breathing slower and slower.

 

[duke33]

I wanna say waterchange, but in this case I think that would be worse. Do you have any other established tanks?

 

[StIcKy~RiCe]

yea i do have established tanks but i did a water change on that one as well last night. about 30%. but it been running for few months on that tank.

 

[duke33]

I was just thinking of putting them in there...

 

[keepinfish]

you added the correct amount of dechlor? DId you test your water? are you having a nitirite or an ammonia spike? if so water change and more water changes to remove the ammonia, maybe put an old filter from another tank on there to help break down the ammonia.

 

[Fishes33]

no filter clean recently..but substrate taken out. was trying to do BB tank.

Id think when u removing the substrate, (like a stir up) harm things that came out and kill your fish

This sucks,sorry to hear this sticky.I have read many a thread about the sudden deaths of dats.Fragile guys aren't they.

Add massive amounts of bubbles if you have any pumps handy - as much circulation as possible. Lower the temp back to normal - you want to get as much oxygen in there as possible. Keep watch for any fish picking on your dats as they struggle.

sorry to hear this.. I went through something similar with discus a few years ago.
