	Cycling Problems!!!
bcwcat22 Big Fish Posts: 395 Kudos: 314 Votes: 34 Registered: 16-Jul-2005	I have started cycling a 12 gallon tank and now one of the zebra danio's cycling it is sick. I know its probably the ammonia caused by cycling but my question is If I put him in another cycled tank will that save him or will it cause more stress??? I relize that this is about a 1$ fish but it bugs me to watch a fish suffer. Please help "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man" Simpsons

Get him in a bag & leave it to float for some time & add some of your tank water slowly. Then catch the fish with a net & put him in the tank. There are some anti stress drops, but i don't know the exact name. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

I think it's better that way. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
