NUTS! AHHHHHHH i cant stand it!
My poor little firefish is having issues! I did a water change but didn't check the temperature of the incoming water. noob Turns out it was like 50 degrees F. When i saw the poor little fish hide in the corner panting, i wondered what was wrong. Sure enough, i put my finger in the water and it was cold cold cold. Tank temp dropped from 77F to 60F in seconds. ooohhhhh i am such an idiot
Luckily i had a 150watt heater in my FW tank so i took it out of there, washed it in vinegar and stuck it in the nano. I got the temp back up in a few minutes but the fish is still not doing well. He comes out and swims for a few seconds, but then hides in the corner panting again. Will it recover? or am i doomed?
