headstanding

[milton]

after doing a 25% water change using aged r/o water 6.8, kh3, gh4 at a temp of 29c i've got just two fish headstanding all others are fine - the tank stats are ph 6.6 - 6.8, kh3, gh4 at a temp of 29c. I think my problem happened because i changed my r/o prefilters before the w/c and ran off 20 litres of waste before using the r/o water. I can put them into a hospital/quarantine tank with a new fish ungoing quarantine or is it best to leave them in this one?

Leave them where they are . .. I don't see how the prefitlers could have caused this. Have you tried epsom salt?

[milton]

thx for the reply carol I have given them a dose of epsom salt last night and they seem abit better
