Black Shark Upside Down Shaking

[nshockeyplaya]

Black Shark spazzed out hit the roof, now extremely stuggling to swim. Completely all of a sudden thing. But he was shakling upside down. Banged nose real bad. What should i do??

 

[WILDER]

Need to no size of tank in gallons or litres, plus full stock list of fish, test result in ammonai,nitrite,nitrate, and ph.

Plus you have been around the board a while we can't help you with info like that.

I know it just happened at the time i was in panic mode and running around like a mad man. He has a decently bad wound on his nose now and is in a 10g quarentine being treated with melafix. He is right side up but is swimming rather sporadically. I dont know what caused this, he was fine but was swimming rather sluggishly after a water change and then snapped and hurt himself. Then he was upside down for a few minutes and he started to come right side up. Thats when I put him in the quarentine. I just did results on my tests. And i found there is actually a slight bit of ammonia in the water. This is shocking and a first. I had to take out media on my last quarentine that i never replaced. Do you think this slight bit of ammonia is from not enough media or something else? Anyone know?

Stock and Tanks size in sig

How high was the ammonia reading, as any ammonia in the tank isn't good for fish.

 

[nshockeyplaya]

The ammonia reading is barely even .25 it has the slightest bit of green

 

[WILDER]

Well if the fish was already sick it wouldn't of been helping, water changes to get ti back to 0.

 

[nshockeyplaya]

No but he wasnt sick, he was fine then early that day after a water change he seemed sick and then later on in the day he hurt himself. By the way he died, i cant beleive it. Everything so sudden. But i want to know what caused his death

 

[WILDER]

How hard did he knock his head as it could of caused internal bleeding.

 

[WILDER]

Fin clamping/shaking
Possible early sign of stress or disease.

 

[nshockeyplaya]

No there wasnt any fin clamping. He hit his nose very hard on the roof enough to start bleeding and send him into spasms. I dont think he was feeling well before though. This was the first sporatic thing hes ever done, not once has he ran into anything or swim up to the roof
