Are there guidelines for what to do with a fish that has been severely stressed/shock generally? I haven't run across this anywhere and it would have been handy with my distressed rasboras (that have since died)...
thanks,

Some general guidelines that I've heard to help a fish acclimate to new surroundings and reduce stress.
1. Provide good water quality
2. Provide good oxygen levels
3. Provide lots of hiding places
4. Keep the aquarium lights off
 
thanks, good to know I am not overlooking something additional. The corys are starting to buck up a bit and have even shown interest in eating, and are raising their dorsal fins now. There may be hope!
