Angels Gasping For Air

[vfg10]

hi
first my angels were not moving at all and I decided to make a water change 50% but after they starred to gasp for air and they look like stoned but my black skirt tetras they look ok so I did another water change like 25% and it looks like it help but they are still gasping a little

I just hope the don't die any tips, comments??

I only have the ammonia test and its 0 sorry thats all I got

I have never had a problem with water changes

Answered your post in tropical discussion.

If you done a water change and the angels are not gasping anymore, it sounds like bad water quality.
Also increase aeration.
Get your water tested at the lfs, ask them to write the readings down for you.

i just feed them and now nobody is eating I'm frustrated I'll go tomorrow to the lfs and take a water sample

hope the fish survive

Keep doing water changes.
Get your water tested aswell.
First thing to rule out is bad water quality.

ok so I went to the LFS and the guy told me that every thing is normal only the ph was 7.7
but that shouldn't affect the fish like that
he only told me that maybe it can be to much co2 in the water let the tank with out it for 3 or 4 days

I hope this was the problem
I really mess up I did not think of taking the co2 out, never though the DIY co2 would produce to much co2
I just panic.
dam I got to get prepared for the next emergency

A swing in ph of more than two either way can kill fish.

What your tap ph to tank ph.

As for C02 no nothing about it i'm afraid.
