so i did a water change and did not putt prime in i forgot . it was 50% killed all my tetras and my puffer looks a little stress . by the time i noticed, i still putt in prime because it helps nitrites and helps the slim coat he is stressed is there something i should do our wait it out

WOW! Tough situation.. i had that happen to me just last day.. but realized it 30 minutes later~ Hope someone could help you, but I would try turning off the lights just to let him settle and rest~

Take it out and give it a warm hug =) fish luv~


I think you've already done what you could.. i'm sure you also raised the temperature too~ sure that'll bring out more of an appetite~

I wonder how long this stress can last for.its been one day now. im a little worried

was your temperature close with the water you added. I find temperature change causes more stress than the new water seems to.
I check with the thermometer usually since I started on the 50% changes recently.
No deaths thank God.

I'm not sure how long stress could last! But I'm having an issue with Pat's angelfish!
Been home for the 4-5th day.. somewhere there or maybe even longer... he doesn't do anything but sit in the back of all the plants.. he might nip some food sometimes, but rarely! I'm not sure how long this will be before he opens up or even eat!
