Thank you for all the help,but unfortunately my catfish has passed away. He had a good life for the 11 or so years I had him,and he will be missed everyday.

also after some more research I've determined that my catfish is a White Bullhead. He is still sitting on his back in the tank. I’ve managed to get my ammonia content down between .25 and 0. I’m just worried he won’t survive the night upside down. Is there anything I can do or give him that...

thank you for all the help with my catfish. without you I don't have a clue what to do and you went above and beyond to help. Thank you so much

Ok so I just got home from work. He’s is still flipping upside down and just kinda sitting there. The water has a ph of about 7.5 but that is how it comes out of the tap. I can’t really fix that I don’t think. The ammonia is around .5 with zero nitrite and about 1 nitrate. I’ve got a new load of...

I managed to drop the ammonia down decently, but I didn’t have time to get it to zero as I was already late for work. The tabs I used and the water conditioner are both supposed to get rid of cloromines and chlorine His breathing seemed to be a lot stronger when I left though before he was...

Ok so the antibiotics seem to be working, but now I’ve got an issue with his flipping over while sitting at the bottom of the tank. I checked the water on my lunch break and found the ammonia to be around 2ppm so I did a two water changes to keep it down, but my tap water has 1ppm of ammonia in...

Ok, you don’t have to tell me twice on the sleep. thanks again for all your help

I just transferred in the new water, the tank has a heater with an thermostat, and a air stone, the only extra filter I have is way to strong for the small tank, so I went ahead and prepped some new water and conditioned it for a partial Change in the morning after the water tests. I would...

I meant to say 1/2 a tab the directions say 1 full tab for 20. I’ve been up for the past two nights trying to figure this out so my brain isn’t working like it should be. I accidentally without thinking added a full tab to the tank. I pulled about 60 percent of the water out for the change

Thomas labs Fish Mox Forte (Amoxicillin) 500 milligrams One capsule for every 20 gallons. Repeat in 24 hours. Recommended partial water change between treatments. Use for a minimum of 5 days.

Ok I just double dosed the new bucket of water with conditioner and the air stone is in and pumping. After 30 minutes I’ll add it to the tank with a small transfer pump. Also thank you for all the help.

The main aquarium has a slight ammonia issue at the moment. It’s been reading .25 since this morning it was at .5 last night but with a 50% water change and some ammonia tabs it went down.

Ten gallons in tank not sure of dimensions just a cheap Walmart tank. one pill per ten. Would transferring main tank water be good or should I treat some clean tap water and add?

Ok then I need to do a water change. Cause I miss read the bottle and added two pills instead of one. So I effectively doubled the recommended dosage

I may have added one to many antibiotic capsules while I was freaking out, would that have any adverse side effects?
