[Bobothegreat]

so this morning I came downstairs to my emperor angel fish just laying in the corner and hasn’t moved. I reached down to him he didn’t run tried a fresh water dip looked like he was having difficulty breathing.

Can you post your parameters along with a current picture of the fish?

 

[Bobothegreat]

PH 8.2
Ammonia .02
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0

 

[Humblefish]

PH 8.2
Ammonia .02
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0

How long has this tank been setup? Ammonia should be undetectable at all times. Add Prime or Amquel to neutralize ammonia.

What test kit are you using and how old is the tank? You show to be reading ammonia which may be part of your problem. Ammonia in any amount is toxic to fish. Are all fish accounted for?

he just passed );

 

[Bobothegreat]

All are accounted for all snails accounted for. The ammonia literally came out of no where it’s all been zeros. Tanks been going for about 6 months or so.

 

[Bobothegreat]

Other 2 fish are acting normal

I would still do what @Humblefish recommended above. Get that ammonia neutralized or out of the tank as quick as possible.
What test kit did you use to determine that level?

 

[Bobothegreat]

Red sea

 

[Bobothegreat]

I’m retesting Ammonia now.

 

[Humblefish]

Red sea

That is usually a pretty accurate test kit. Were the gills red at all (from ammonia burn)?

 

[Bobothegreat]

Nvm ammonia is back at zero the .2 was last night

Sorry for your loss Had the fish ever been prophylactically treated for flukes, Ich/velvet?
