Of course. The fish have improved greatly. Frequent water changes helped, 1-2 times a day. I treated the water with Melafix for a week or so. The fish seemed more comfortable and less stressed in the tank, so I stopped using the temporary holding. I continued to check the water temperature...

I have been updated by my friend that the fish are currently alive, and eating well.. especially the "fat orange one." All is well for now, and I will continue to come here for advice in the future.

He ate today, good sign. He is swimming as well, although weakly.

I believe that I may have to. I will have to order the clove oil, and that will give me a few more days to recognize any progress atleast.

Unfortunately, I am now seeing fin deterioration in the sick fish. I have done a water change today, and I have been treating the water with Melafix. I will be out of town for a week. I will have to leave instructions for a friend on what to do, and hope that nothing happens when I am away. I...

I have seen no change, good or bad. I have been using bottled water in the temp tank. I now have the water conditioner that I ordered, and Melafix.

The parameters of the water may be the cause. It may be ammonia for example. It is important to know what behavior the fish is displaying as well. You are very unlikely to receive a diagnosis based on a photo alone. I do not believe that it would hurt to use the medication that you have. There...

It is important to know the water conditions, because it may likely be the cause.

I appreciate the help that you have given me.

Very limited movement still. Whatever is wrong, it does not seem to be improving with water changes.

Yes, I am on Amazon more than I should be. There is no pet store in town, unfortunately. I have noticed just now that he seems to be favoring one of his fins, but I see no injuries.

It is perplexing, and stressful. I have never had it happen. It has been days now as well. I have had to order more water conditioner. Hopefully I will see improvement, because I am tired of worrying.

The water was dechlorinated, but to a normal and necessary amount. I would not blame myself for what happened, but I know of future precautions.

I am no longer worried of what may have happened, and only concerned of what I may be able to further do to help. I am sure that there are precautions that I may be able to take in the future, to prevent that from happening again, even though it was out of my control. I had heard a...

I have always been consistent with water changes. I do not believe that they would have adapted to poor water conditions, what I can imagine is poor atleast. The fish is alive, but there has been no change in his behavior. It has been three days.
