April Debuysere Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I got two fish online they said delivery by 2 but ups didn’t show up till 7 pm. The smaller fish is fine, however the large clown fish seemed in distress. I didn’t acclimate as I wanted to due to the distress of the fish. It is swimming very odd. Do you think the build up of ammonia was too much for the fish ? Is there anything I can do to save the fish? I put some prime in my qt tank since when I tested the water he was shipped in it was very high ammonia🙀. Such a pretty fish I don’t want it to die..

jolt Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Just saw this. It could definitely be ammonia. Hopefully you are running good aeration on the QT tank, sometimes that helps. How is it doing now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Methylene blue works great for ammonia related poisoning though the effects by now on the fish have either subsided are its too late. Hope it made it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April Debuysere Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 Good to know farmer ty. I may buy some to keep on hand for future issues. I put an extra air stone I had in the tank and the fish pretty much just hung out in the bubbles it’s swimming normal today hope that means all is well 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
