I think my fish are about to be dead

[Ravenes]

Hm yeah that might be it. However, now the problem is how the fish. I recommend you do a water change and add the correct amount of antichlorinator, if none at all due to the abundance of it in the main tank. Remember that anti chlorinator doesn't remove chlorine, it just binds to it and makes it safe for aquatic life.

Now, how big is the tank? Stocking? The nitrates are still very concerning.

30 gallon tall
I have 8 albino corydoras
4 cherry barbs
5 white skirt tetras
2 thick lipped gourami

I feel the white skirt tetras should be in a bigger tank and have more friends, but that itself isn't overstocked. When was the last time you did a water change and are there any plants in the tank?

 

[Ravenes]

Yes tons of plants I did the water three times today

 

[Ravenes]

I just did another water change. Should I be doing this without dechlorinator this time?

maybe add a drop or two, to be safe

 

[Ravenes]

should I also turn off the lights?

 

[Ravenes]

Should I be sleeping? Should I pick this back up in the morning. I think I did everything I could do

Go to sleep and check up on it in the morning.

 

[Tacocat]

Yes turn off the lights if it's night time.

 

[Ravenes]

Yes turn off the lights if it's night time.

So what should I do now that I’ve done the water change? What should I do in the morning.

I'm sorry I can't help you I am chemical free. There will be someone here that knows about this stuff.

Ah okay. So should I wait till morning?

 

[itiwhetu]

Ah okay. So should I wait till morning?

I would wait and take a deep breath.

 

[Ravenes]

Alright they seem to have stopped going to the top to breath I don’t see any dead fish. Two died yesterday. Lesson learned I guess
