be SURE to have good aeration.

there are times when a tank simply goes "toxic". dont know why but fish are wobbling
or dying and the best thing is move them out to fresh oxygenated tank or tub of water
and then clean the old tank out, strip it down completely and sponge a lot of
hydrogen peroxide around. then refill with fresh water.
CHANGE ALL THE WATER in tanks where fish have died. do 3 days of tub to tub before
putting them back. Ingrid

thanks for the advice. I have taken the fish out of the tank already because
they were not getting any better and I was afraid that tthey wouldn't
survive the night. I placed them into a bucket and a small tank and they are
still alive 20 hours later so that is a good start. I will change some of
the water now and treat with salt and see what happens.
Thanks again.

Be very careful. If there is no or inadequate filtration in these
small quarantine containers Ammonia can jump quickly. My experience
is that injured/sick fish are very sensative to water quality. Water
needs to be pristine or at least as safe as possible to heal. Don't
do anything that is harsh or stressful while they are weak.

It certainly can't hurt to try the tub to tub treatment with some salt
& NovAqua. Use AmmolockII or Amquel for ammonia. You still have to
monitor Ammonia though. If the water is not fully aged carefully
match temperatures.

Good luck
