Okay here is the issue. my 30 gal has been cycled for well over a year. the only new fish added was the Bichirs early last month. yesterday I came home to about 4 adult mollies and about 3 platies. I was away from home for about 8 hours and not sure how long they had been dead. so fished them out and decided to test my water. Nitrites, nitrates and ammonia were off the charts.
Only thing I could do was a 50% water change and order prime and amquel since it was well past midnight. I did stop at walmart to get prime because website said they had it. they lied so I found some jungle ammonia clear fizz tabs. directions say add 1 tab per 10 gal and for high ammonia levels use up to 2 times the dose. so I did and very little change. so the other stuff won't be here until monday. I want to hopefully save te remaining fish and I have 3 tanks I can utilize. Can I house 3 -3 inch bichirs temporarily in a 10 gallon. it would just be until monday. the remaining mollies and platies can go in the 25 gallon with the others or I could put all but the bichirs in my 75 gallon which currently houses 20 kuhli's, 7 corycats, 2 plecos, 10 albino emperor tetras and 6 german blue rams
