Ok so i got these cichlids a few days ago and they were in my 55 gallon tank and then that tank got ich so i took them out and put them in this 30 gallon but i didn’t even get the tank to cycle because this all happened to fast. so some of my cichlids have ich not a lot a few spots so i added salt increased the temp to 80 and started using some “ick clear” by jungle yesterday. i took the carbon out of this not so good filter for the ich treatment and i just changed 25% of the water today and it almost looks like they need oxygen which i don’t get because i have the air pump going as seen in the pictures. what could this be? ammonia? keep in mind since yesterday i haven’t had anything in the filter since i’ve been using this ich treatment. should i completely drain all the water and add new water and put them back in if it’s ammonia? please help.
