im no expert but i think you put the fish in way to early
She put BioSpira yesterday (I think). She'll be all right. I put my fish in the same day I added the BioSpira... only 1 casualty since then... the pygmy cory just didn't adjust well.


Good luck with the fish... You can have all my guppies if you want! :D

I know I could have waited, but I did put in the BioSpira in yesterday, and used the heater and the filter from the 5G QT bucket...they were getting too cramped, and dangit, I needed my sink back. Plus the cats were starting to go fishing...no ammonia in the 55G right now. I'll test later for everything else.

Well, I finally got the stupid Rafeal out of the rock, but his gills and fins are all chopped up from him being in that dang rock for at least 2 weeks. I put some salt and so stress coat in there. Any other ideas as to what I can do for him?

OK, so, my apologies, but I'm totally confused: into which tank are you trying to put the raphael? :confused:

And, as far as what to do for him, I think you've done all that you can or should. Sometimes, the best thing is to just let them be. And, I think that's particularly true here, as there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with him other than getting beat up a little. If he starts to look sick, that's another matter ...

The Rafeal is in the 20G for now...will eitHeher go in the 75G or to the LFS. He seems to be doing ok this morning...finally found the large tunnel I put in for him. I would have left him alone, but he was indead stuck in the previous rock..stupid fish.

Update on the 55G...Glofish are again all over the place and playing in the plants. Two of the Mollies are hanging together and moving around the tank a bit more, but one is hanging out by itself and hiding. Water is still hazy, but parameters are good.

Well, so far so good. Looks like everyone is going to make it :)
The Mollies are all happily swimming around again..looks like 1 might be pregnant. And tha cataract things on the Silver Dollars seem to be all but gone. The Rafeal is hiding out in his new tunnel..no bottom, so I can just lift it up. I want to thank everyone who helped me through these last few weeks. Your help was very much appreciated.

Mollies are ALWAYS pregnant!

I'm glad everyone seems to be settling out. *hugs* We all have had strange chaos in our tanks before. It seems hard but then it turns out to be okay in the end.

Yeah, yeah I know Mollies are always pregnant, but she was ready to drop when the funk hit the fan (so to speak). I'm guessing that she aborted them due to the disease and stress. So I am thinking that since she looks pregnant again, things should be better.
