First and foremost lemme say I do not believe that quarantinedfish.com is in any way at fault for what happened during shipping.
I ordered three fish and drip accumulated them for 40 minutes until the salinity in the bucket matched the DT. Also made sure temp matched closely (within less than 1 degree)
Added the fish and immediately noticed the one larger clown couldn’t handle the flow in the tank so I shut all pumps off and only ran the return. Unfortunately he couldn’t right himself as if he had swim bladder issues. I pulled him and put him in a specimen container with some holes drilled and he’s been there ever since.
I’ve seen freshwater fish like this in the past, laying on side and flailing around and they usually don’t make it. I’m pretty upset as I hate seeing things suffer so I’m here in a last ditch effort to see if you guys recommend anything. Unfortunately only place I can go is the local petco, so the only meds I have are when they offer there (api branded). I do have some fish mox but I don’t know if antibiotics would help.
Including a photo cause I really love the way this little girl looks.
