In one of my tanks, I have 3 black moors and 3 shrimps. The tank is a 10gal, but yesterday I was doing a 100% water change and moved them all to my 45gal for a little while. Well, I checked on them, they were fine and getting on well with all the other fishees. It took me over an hour to clean out the tank, and then we popped out. When we came back, the lights had switched off (they're on timers) but I could still see them and they were fine. This morning, lights came on, and I WOZ SHOCKED! One of my beautiful angels were dead, and he was hardly recognisable but the only reason I could tell it was him was because of the shape. Also, two of my shrimps have disappeared and the one that was left was being chased around. Two of my black moors were fine, I netted one of them and the shrimp, put them back in their 10gal and then went back. I could only see 1 black moor left. He was swimming round quite happily, playing in the plants and bubbles from the air pump. He was determined not to come out, but eventually I caught him and plopped him back into his 10gal. Back to the 45gal, I saw the last black moor.
Not good.
He was swimming on his side, half his tail gone, a chunk of skin or something missing from his eye, and the gouramis were pecking at him. He looked so miserable I nearly cried. I easily got him out, but instead of putting him back in his 10gal, he is in a jug next to me, which I have treated with Protozin. I don't know if it will do much good but I'm so worried I don't know what to do. Should I add some salt? Though I don't have proper aquarium salt, and I'm not sure whether it's ok to add normal table salt, is it?
Please help me and my poor little guy. He's sort of floating at the top of this jug, and the only way I know he's still alive is that his gills are moving. He's covered in bubbles too. They look lime whitespot, but they're definatley not.
