sorry for the double post, but i am desperate!
:help: I have a 29 gallon tank (i know, way too small, but that is another long story)with a hang on the back mud filter with a built in skimmer. Trigger lives there with a little blue neon damsel. totally without thinking today I was messing around installing electrical stuff so I turned off the circuit breaker. i did this several times through out the day. later, my husband came home and thought the tank was leaking. there was water everywhere. upon further investigation i realized what had happened. when i turned off the electricity, the 5 gallons (i think .. maybe 10?) of water that was in the mud filter had dumped in my tank and over flowed it. there were mangroves and a bunch of other crap in the tank too. Trigger of course was VERY unhappy and would not come out. THEN it turns out that my prepared water had accidentally been left on the porch (sealed with the lid) and was EXTREMELY cold, forcing me to have to just whip up a batch of what i thought was room temp water from the sink. That was about 4 hours or so ago. Trigger has since come out, but he looks horrible. he is very light in color and keeps snapping at the water. he is not really eating either (NOT like him). What can I do at this point? I don't want him to die! please help!
Thanks in advance ~
