Hello all,

 

Fed my fish tonight, all ate well and then an hour later my silver shark is upside down on the bottom of the tank, I can reach in and grab her and hold onto her but as soon as I let go she sinks to the bottom and is upside down

 

Checked all the levels in the tank and they are fine.

Last time I lost a shark it had white spot/ich

In looking at that photo the silver dollar has some specks on it. Is that just the photo or do your fish have what looks like white grains of sand on them?

It may have spooked and rammed something. Concussion is not that uncommon in silver sharks.

 

Otherwise testing NITRITE is a good idea, as is making sure you are using enough dechlorinator when topping up.

From there it may be a poison, such as fly spray.

I would suspect concussion as well.

so what exactly is - checked all the levels in the tank are they are fine -  mean in terms of tests that you did ??? numerical values ???
