55 gallon emergency

[Scutterborn]

I wonder if you've enough surface agitation to oxygenate the water.

Do you have any power heads in there that you can aim up towards the surface? Failing that, perhaps an airstone as a temporary solution?

Crap. Ok, so I'm a little slow...

Sounds like he's wanting oxygen. But the water won't oxygenate quickly, it will take some time.

Does the fish look like he's gasping, or respirating quickly? How about white discoloration in the fins or skin? Ich can cover down on the gills and cause a fish to not be able to breath well.

My friend Paul here told me my tank is goin through a cycle. Because the tank has only been up since April 4th. The fish that are in my tank were already in there when I bought it. But I did a complete water change. He suggested I take everything out get some water from someone else's tank and let my tank go through it's cycle. Even for my bicolored angelfish that is in my 10 gallon tank which has only been up for two weeks. So I'm going to need some help. Who is up for it? Thank you all

We are going to do a water change this evening and could give you about 40-50 gallons of our dirty water. That might help..... Depends on what happened with the rocks and sand when you moved the tank. Can you tell us a little more about how long the rock was out of the water? New rock added or just kept the original rock? Disrupt the sand bed? Get a new sand bed?

If you stirred the sandbed you could have released some toxins into the water, also drying of your rock could cause a die off

you jumped the gun a lil for saltwater, I would suggest taking fish back to store for credit and properly setting this tank up. starting over would be best.

[allan]

Yep.

If you want to temporarily hold your fish, I can store them in my fuge for a few weeks to get your tank cycled out.

Nothin was out of water. When tank was moved rocks were placed in old water as well as a little water left in the tank for sand. Fish where in old water then floated with new water and then placed in tank. Right now I'm in the process of trying to get 35 gallons from someone else's tank so I can move everything into my 35 gallon temporary while my main tank settles down. Because I really do not wanna lose these fish. Only one I'm considering for trade or sale is my maroon clown. So if anyone can help me out ASAP it would be greatly appreciate.

Do you think a temp drop may have occured?

I know it did in the water everything was in while I was settin up the tank
