Sick Female Sword Tail

my own fault really, i stressed her out in a new tank that i rushed the cycle on, i came home today and she was hiding, so i put her back in my mature tank.

Now she is hiding in the undergrowth looking all poorly.

Anything i can do to encrease her chances?

Did you match ph and temp.
If she on her own salt, one tablespoon to 5gal.

 

[noshybabs]

The water is the same temp and its from the same source so im asuming its the same PH. Can tell you the exect PH as i dont have a kit,

She was flicking in the new tank, so im guessing the water isnt great yet

The other stats i know are

Mature Tank

Nitritre 0.5
Nitrate 110 (slightly over stocked, hence the new tank)

New Tank

Nitrite 0.5
Nitrate 5

Cant quarantene here as i dont have another tank

Finger crossed everyone

Just worried that with the tank still cycling the ph was different, as she would go into ph shock and stress.

 

[noshybabs]

her mate is still in the new tank and he is fine, dont know if that significant,

Il get my self a PH kit tommorrow but im a bit stuck at the min. guess hoping is all i can do.

 

[WILDER]

Fingers crossed, always take a sample of the tank ph there in to the tank ph you are putting them in.

 

[noshybabs]

cheers for the advise, i never thought about PH, i just figured the PH would be the same because the waters from the same place. Guess you shouldnt take anything for granted


Here she is looking all sorry for a self

 

[WILDER]

Ph can alter in a cycling tank usually its all over the place.
