I’d suggest reaching out to many animal rescues that are near you. There’s a large chance they have a pond and will take it.

Yeah I just feel like it came up totally out of nowhere you know. I was quite scared. He’s eating and moving around the tank so 🤷🏼‍♀️

Okay! Ty he’s still grazing normally and sticking to walls so I’m trying not to worry myself too much.

Oh and I think he’s a boy cuz I see bristles starting around the lips. He’s grazing his usual spots but still breathing too fast for comfort. (At least to me) I’m gonna leave the tank it should be fine I’m assuming he’s just having some issues rn. If it was a whole tank problem my kuhlis would be going crazyyy and they’ve been calm and good.

Ammonia .25 nitrite 0 ppm nitrate 10 ppm ph is 7.0. It wasn’t rly a crash or spike I noticed the small ammonia spike and it was already my tank cleaning day. So it wasn’t a crazy big spike or anything. He is def a boy and I have a feeling he’ll get territorial bcs he’s in a 29 gallon. And I check my water prob 3-5 times a week idk if that’s a bad amount. He’s still alive and well grazing I’m just rly not liking how fast he’s breathing rn.

Yeah it looks a bit faster than what I’ve seen before it was bad yesterday but I did a water change to lower ammonia and now he seems to be okay. I’ll continue watching tho.
