Hi, ive rescued today a small coralius ccichlid from a very neglected tank. This morning he was stable, swiming and eating, and a few hours later he was on his side not responding.
Ive been monitoring him in the last few daysbeacuse i saw hes being bullied alot and has a ragged fin. he is also very skinny. The tank is very neglected, nitrate was more then 200ppm and i started to do WC 2 weekds ago{its not my tank, im trying to help the fish} i think that what caused the collapse was bulling again from the other fish.
I took him and right now he is in a bucket. ive increased the salinty to 0.5% and now about 10 hors later he seems better, still on bottom but straight and moving his fins
I wanted to ask if you have reccomendation for supporting him and help him recover.
thank yo
