Forty Fathoms

So for the past day or two we have this silver shark with orangish coloured fins and its just been swimming upside down and sitting at the top of the tank upside down.

I'm assuming he can be considered dead in a day or so?

its one of these. and we just changed the water a few days ago when we moved the tank.

Water parms? I'm lost

[joeyt66]

looks like a red tail shark or ruby tail. Was probally due to the move then. Did you change all the water

most of it, me and my buddy only moved it about 10' across the room, we left a bit of water left and all the gravel and kept all the fish in it.

All the others seem to be ok

That exact fish was the first one I ever had when I started say 10 years ago. What kind of water are you using to refill the tank tap or well??? Did you use any chemicals in the water like to rid it o chlorine if its tap water??

[joeyt66]

probally stirred up a bunch of deturis when he moved and then changed most of the water putting the fish into shock. is likely what happened.

just tap water and i forgot to add that chemical stuff to clean the tap water or whatever it is. Actually I don't think I even have any left

If its Cornwall municipal water, I would imagine they add similar levels of Chlorine to what Kingston adds. I know trout will do the same thing when they are exposed to chlorine. Is it still alive?

[Onebetter]

yes 2-3 days later and hes still swimming upside down, not alot of movement tho
