Hello I got a red tail shark for my 55 gallon tank 4 days ago. And with my Luck the tank wall burst yesterday leaving me with 55 gallons of h2o on my carpet and 3 tromatized fish. I put them in a ten gallon bucket that I use specifically for transporting my fish back and forth to school, but the water in it was not close to the water in the tank so they got pretty shocked. I put tuem in a new tank last night.nMy Molly is doing fine he's a strong little guy. My pleco has a small cut on his fin prob just from glass. But my main problem is my red tail shark. His barbs appear to be gone and there is a film around his mouth, and tail, I'm thinking possibly cotton mouth but I'm not sure, man it just has to do with the Shock from it all. I put some melifix in the tank to begin treatment, but I'm still not sure what it is. If anyone has any ideas please help. Thanks
