Yesterday I moved my two tanks from girlfriends house, about 165 miles back to my home. I've done this before with no problem. I put the fish in small styro coolers, line them with garbage bags, put some air into them and transport the fish.
I estimate the fish were in the containers from 10:30am to about 12:00am - one container had three loaches, two giant Dainos and my Yellow Lab. I've done this move sucessfully twice...
Last night while acclimating the fish, one of the Dainos died in the bag I was floating. And now the Yellow Lab is at the bottom of the tank breathing VERY heavy and for the most part does not swim.
When he does swim, it seems it is with difficulty. I'm not sure what's going. ALL of the other fish are doing excellent - 3 loaches, 1 Giant Diano, 3 Neon Tetras, 2 Black Phantoms and 4 Panda cory cats - All of these fish are swimming around normally, have a healthy appetite and didn't miss a beat.
What could be going on with the Yellow Lab???
