I moved 2 nights ago, and my tank is having it rough.
29g tropical, 7.8pH, 71F, with the saddest stock ever (the tank is in limbo until after the holidays/moving): 1 female betta, 1 male molly, 1 neon tetra, 1 young BN pleco. This morning, the fish are all dull, have some measure of fin rot and look to be struggling. The pleco did eat last night and the betta and molly ate this morning.
Set up was rough. The tank is currently decorated without gravel (I was planning on adding the gravel later today), but there is decor to hide in at every level and the fish haven't reacted to the change. There was a rookie mistake made during reintroduction to the tank- I forgot to dechlorinate and the fish got blasted with a 1/2 cup of tap water before I realized. I quickly dropped Prime into each animal's bag, then dosed the tank, mixed it by hand and waited about 45min before continuing reintroduction. The fish didn't seem bothered until this morning.
I've lost some of my aquarium supplies in the move.
I wont be able to get more test tubes for water testing, aquarium salt, or any other chemicals until after work today. I dosed the tank again with Prime, just to be safe. Any advice?
