I just did a water change. I will do another one tomorrow to see how it's going.
And then what? Put them in a bucket with no heat or filters?? Why does he have you turning off the filters?He told me turn off the filters and put water from the tank in a container and place the fish in it.
What is the best way of dealing with this problem.
prov356 said:keep doing the water changes at least daily, twice if possible, while vacuuming out whatever you can from the gravel. I'd stop feeding for a couple of days. This should resolve pretty quickly. Also consider using Prime or something similar to detox the ammonia.
Prime, or AmmoLock would be great. Don't bother with the bio-spira. It takes a week to 10 days to be effective. The bacteria will recover on their own before then.Also, should I pick up a bottle of Bio Spira just in case and a bunch of ammonia clear or other detoxifyers?
No, just my two cents.Should I also get some egg crate for the bottom of the tank for the rocks?
