Hi
recently i moved my 3" homegrown babies in to another aquarium,they were left for 2 days with automatic feeder(i was away)normally they do well like this and use to love tetra bits, when i came back food was still in the tank - they didnt eat at all,i did 90% wc and added air stone and salt,now some of them pointing down at 45 degrees as if something pulling them up by tail and stay in the middle region a bit darker then ussual,stomac very empty,they dont eat i dont see any white poo(maybe pleco takes it)eyes were cloudy now cleared up
ph 7
T 29-30
BB tank,just sponge filter and heater
i didnt do any meds,just WC abt 150% during a day and salt at 1tbsp/10gal
been like this for last 3 days
any help appreciated

Difficult to offer any further advice than you have already done Vera. It may be bacterial so a broad spectrum anti biotic may help, but it's guess work.

I would make sure the temp is constant when chaning water.

Chloromycetin is Chloramphenicol.........it is not well absorbed by the fish and it's not a safe one for humans to handle. Try Furan or Tetracycline if ione is needed
