Fish not looking so good?
Just added my fish to my QT followed this acclimation process http://www.liveaquaria.com/general/g...3319&subref=AI
This fish seemed ok swimming around at first and now he is pointing nose down he is swimming but he seems like he stops for a sec and starts to float. Is he just stressed? The water parameters in the QT are all good. Anything that I can do or should I just let him be? The salinity level is a little different from what it was in the bag but I figured that the acclimation would have taken care of this difference. |

I'd put him back in the bag and head back to your LFS. I hope he makes it either way

If you got him online deffently get an airline in there! When we get fish in our LFS all the tanks get airstones put in! Fish get stuck in thouse tiny bags so long the air just goes! He may have a bit of water shock aswell by the sounds of it but there is nothing you can do but hope! Just turn out the lights and check him every now and again!

Just wanted to let everyone know that the fish is doing good I put a piece of pVC in the QT tank last night and the fish has been hanging out in there. I think it was trying to hide before and it needed something to hide out in till he gets used to things. Also he ate some food which I take it as a good sign that he is going to make it

Fish certainly appreciate something to hide in while in quarantine.
Sometimes fish will seem to be doing really badly when just acclimated. It's good to turn off the lights and let them recover for a while.
