ok, I am sorry stinky bad dead water= bad bad
You did correctly by putting it in a hospital tank. I would keep a gentle flow of good water on it, lower lights, and a good protein skimmer on. Just watch it as it still might be salvagable. Also notify the people you got it from incase it really still dies. Please let us know how it is doing. |
