Aw man just when i thought things were going to be okay! one of my silver dollars gone upside down! let me tell u guys how it all began. Okay, i had a nitrite problem in my 55 gallon, yes, i moved them to a safer 20 gallon tank that is cycled and etc, So i decided to juice my 55 gallon with a quilt battling bacteria bag. Kinda like bio spira, yes, 55 gallon tank got better, water parameters was good. double checked on nitrite and no porblems. checked everything again, all good. Decided to place them in my 55 gallon tank.
pH 7.6, High range pH 7.4, nitrite is 0, nitrate is 5.0, ammonia is 0
I noticed one of my silver dollars got a lot better, my SD's needed some oxygen so they went up to the tank to gulp some air, minutes pass by and they still gulp air, again and again, i thought they needed some time to adapt and relax, until one of my SD's decided to flip upside down on me....O_O i knew immediately something was going on...! I then did a 60% water change and it helped one of my SD's, gained his strength and oxygen back, but except my other SD....he's still upside-down, breathing, he looks like he's still good and all, but he's just...upside down!!the water parameters are good.
Anybody?please dun leave poor lil me aloneeee :wall:

THEY ARE OKAY! I have a bubblewand, my fluval making super splashes, indeed it helped oxygenate the water, but my other sd that flipped is still upside down..get it? I'm trying to help him out.. Although as of now, looks like he's trying to push himself back together. I think he's regaining his strength. He's my only other SD that is not so hardy. Im glad he's recovering and trying! I might feed him some peas, but ill wait a little longer.
