Today, my ignorant mother decided to tear down my 30 gallon fish tank. As I am in the process of moving this weekend, she decided to ignore my directions and put my already over crowed fish in a 10 gallon aquarium with a bubbler and 300 watt heater without a thermometer. And I wouldn’t doubt that she decided to over feed them as well in the 10 gallon. I told her specifically not to take them out till she was ready to bring them down (a 3 hour drive on Friday).
Anyways, I found this all out after the fact. She did this about 2 hours ago. About an hour after she did it when I found out. I made her take an ammonia test. But I don’t know which one she did. I asked her to do with the nh3 and nh4. Alls I know is which ever one she took is at 1.5. I am assuming its 1.5 mg/l but have no idea of knowing for sure which out fighting with her some more to get simple answers. She makes things as difficult as possible.
She is currently looking for the tubes for a filter I had laying around their. As if it will do much good with out filter media or any cycling.
I had her put some of the old gravel back in (the 30 gal was using a under gravel filter). I asked her to put a half an inch worth. But again, she just dumped a bunch in and I of course could not get an answer of how much she put in.
I had her take some of the lava rocks out of the pond filter to put in the 10 gallon. I specifically told her not to wash it or rinse it. But after having to tell her that multiple times, I can not be sure she didn’t do that as well. I told her to just shake off the sand and silt in the the pond filter. I assume she will do this in the 10 gallon since I told her to do it in the pond filter. She also decided to pull it out of the filter and leave it outside to have me call her as she was looking for the filter tubes. But after fighting with her some more to but those back in the filter and grab some other pieces, helpfully she will without letting them dry out this time. Who knows.
Is their any chance of survival for my fish? The should be here Friday. I am sure they will all be dead, then I’ll start screaming. She will not listen to anything I say. And gives me a hard time to do it.
Also I asked her to change 25% of the waterm to unplug the heater, and not feed them.
Anything I could possible to do ask her to do to try to save these fish?
