I was moving this weekend
I had a 37 gal tall tank
I had to move a clownfish and a damsel into a 5 gal tank for transport.
Before I transported the main tank it was on the floor and carpet cleaner got spashed real bad into it so trashed the whole tank and everything.
So I went my new place with the clownfish and the damsel and in the morning the damsel was dead and the clownfish was at the top gasping for air. I looked it up and think Ammonia is a symptom of the fish gasping at the top of the water.
They had only been in there 12 hours how would Ammonia build up that fast.
Instead of letting the clownfish die I put him into a bucket of spring water.
It took a few hours to clean out the 5 gal tank with white vinger and added all new R/0 water and salt. Put the heater in etc.
Put him in there tonight and he still is moving around gasping and messed up.
any one know what I should do? for the long term?
