Ohhhh, my Lanta.

[Kristin1234]

And why only some fish affected? Clowns and chromis, wrasse, and Cardinals acting fine.

Water parameters are still good?

 

[Kristin1234]

Last time I checked was last night ammonia 0.

 

[jay0705]

It could have spiked over night.

 

[Kristin1234]

It did. 8 ppm. Fish r alive. Doing another 40 gallon change. That's all the water I have.

 

[Kristin1234]

Added prime.

 

[Kristin1234]

Just did additional 45 gallon change. I added prime before change. Add more prime or no??

 

[Kristin1234]

I am generally in favor of prime in situations like this.

More prime? I added 2 caps prior to water change.

Unless you are using the seachem ammonia test the ammonia the prime is detoxifying will still show up. I suspect over time ammonia built up but it probably isn't as bad as the test shows. You'll probably end up doing several more large water changes. You might consider getting an ammonia badge. They work with prime.

To add salt to the wound. When I was adding water I stared some sand.

Only test for ammonia I have is api. I know. Terrible

See if you can get an ammonia badge. Don't know if ***** has them. And keep making water so it is ready if you need it.

It'll be tomorrow. My blue tang has went from bad to a little better. What do you think the chances of her making it are? She is by far the most affected fish. All others are looking better. Fox face is no longer pajama'd. Which is what I call when he's all freaked out or sleeping

 

[Kristin1234]

She went from losing all flamboyancy if that's how to spell it to able to keep herself up right.

I lost my mandarin and lawn mower.

: ( I'm devastated.

 

[Kristin1234]

Retested. Ammonia between 2-4 ppm. Nitrite at 2.

 

[jay0705]

Water changes and if you can add more flow to increase your oxygen. As bang said prime can lower it.

 

[jay0705]

Even just an air stone
