We got an aquarium a week ago and we started adding chemicals to it as instructed(to neutralize ammonia and nitrites in the water) and theres also a filter that was running non stop for a week - this was without the fish
Now as we bought the fishes (two red shoulder severum cichlids - tropical) we did as instructed such as putting the bag it came with it inside the fish tank first to get it to adjust to the temperature of the water for 30 mins etc... but as soon as the fish was inside the tank, it went into shock - it would just stay on the bottom.
What do I do? Completely clueless since this is my first tank
Help would be greatly appreciated, if you need further info I'll try my best to provide for such.
Thanks
Note: The filter and the heater is working as it should be
