The clown is still alive but is still breathing kind of heavy. I just checked the parameters and they all seem fine to me. I really dont understand whats going on

The ammonia looks a little different than the 0 on the sheet but its been that color everytime I've tested it so i just assumed its at 0.

maybe the tank overheated and the oxygen levels went down corresponding the temperature
RIP wrasse/angel

EDIT: u shoulda told her to add an airstone or turn on a filter before she left

I didn't even think about an airstone until after she already left. The clown is still alive and I got the filter turned back on. The clown is still breathing heavy and I have no idea whats going on

I posted a picture of the water parameters. Ammonia looked fine and so did nitrites and nitrates. The thermometer says its at 78 degrees which is where i always have it and the hydrometer says 1.024 just like always

Should i try to get to petco and get like a 10 gallon tank and put fresh salt water in it with the clown? I'm really not sure whats going on and I'd really like to save the clown if I can.
