So earlier today, I decided to re home my 5 Giant Danios simple because they were swimming around the tank so fast that I feel like they were stressing out my 2 Angel Fish Big Time.......
The Danios are super fast and super frustrating, especially when trying to net the dang fish. I ended up moving the two angel fish to a 2 gallon plastic bucket filled with aquarium water and had to drain about 95% of the water just to be able to net the Danios..... At that time I was able to get them all to their new home and filled the tank back up with the well water, watching very closely the temperature (it did not fluctuate more than .5 degrees either way.) Also while filling the tank, I added Prime to the water, dosing the tank with 1.5 caps of it. I then put the two Angel Fish back in the tank and now one of them is hanging out at the bottom of the tank, moving around a little bit (I think I just stressed it out and it is getting better as time goes by.) The other Angel is the once I think is dying, it is staying at the very top of the water and literally will not move. It is so weak that I went to put food by it and it didn't move and my finger accidentally touched it with no affect....
Is there anything I can do to save this fish?
Should I remove the fish from the tank r try to wait it out? (I don't want it to get my other fish sick in the tank)
Also I did just do some water testing and it was as follows:
PH 7.8
Ammonia - between 0 and .25
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 20
