Water changes for Bass??? Please help

[Miks786]

Hi guys so I did a big water change on my tank this evening...And I think I made a mistake along the way...My fish don't wana eat and are breathing very heavy...please help? Unfortunately it's late now for me too run too the store and get anything

I have put some rough salt into the tank and some Bio Vital

I have 3 peacock bass, silver arowana and a datnoid in the tank and there is enough air in the tank

What do I do now?

When you are filling tank did you notice your water looked like full of small bubbles?

Yes it did...What does that mean?

Your tap water is saturated with gas and once put in the tank it releases it all at once. These tiny gas bubbles can irritate and or kill the fish depending on the severity and how sensitive the fish are.

I highly suggest aging your tank water prior to doing water changes.

Three days once 40% change is what I do for those juveniles .. must be sufficient
