Help! My German Blue Ram and my yoyo loach are both lying on the floor of my tank breathing heavily, being listless/not really moving, and looking generally sad
I suspect the cause is a pH burn; I checked the ammonia and the levels were at ~ 0ppm, but my pH was way, way, way too high (beyond the scale of my testing kit).
I've since brought it down as slowly as I could through water changes and it's now back to the levels that I normally keep it at, but I'm wondering whether there's anything I should be doing to help my fish
Also wondering if it could be anything else.
If I can work out how to upload a photo, I will add one of him looking sad!
So far I've added extra aquarium salt and a product called 'Stress Coat'...
Thank you for any wisdom/advice!
