kk story goes doing water change doing fine cleaned well, then my brother tips unheated water into the tank (least he put in the correct amount of water treatment) but i think one of my AT barbs are in serious trouble
it started to hyperventalate (shock?!?) and doesn't seem to want to come of the bottom...and the other one doesnt look to great but its fine could this be a thermoclin(bands of hot and cold water) or a ruptured swimbladder? or even just constapation? becasue i had to feed them cold pond water flake because our tropical ones had gone walkies?
im really stuck it looks a little better and is slowly swimming about

so i did what i could turn the light off, pray and come to you for help...
 
Sounds like tempreture shock, look out for signs of parasites and columnaris.
 
yeah, pretty much everything. all diseases attack fishes when they are weakened, which is unfortunately where you are. Keep a close eye on your water quality as well, since that would cause even more stress. Also keeping them well fed wouldn't hurt.
 
well the water condition has dramatically improved since last week we had a bit of a spike but afte rthe water changes its shot down
and its acting as good now i just need to get that new tank so i can boost the numbers up because its a bit of a bully at times lol
