My tank crashed a month ago, and my filters are just coming around again and the ammonia in my tank is in a non toxic form. I just put a few discus in and their fins (pectoral) are quivering and they are hiding under the driftwood. My p.h. is at 6.2 and temp is at 84. My filters can’t cycle the non toxic ammonia yet and if I do a water change, I’m fear that my tank will crash again. I’ve lost over 1,000.00 in discus and don’t want to go through that again. What should I do?
Reply:
1. You should have a hospital tank or a bare-tank.
2. In this situation now you should treat your fish in the hospital tank.
3. Until your main tank is ready, then only you transfer them back. Of course your fish would have recovered.
4. While you transfer the fish make sure both tanks, water conditions must be balance.
