Naso Tang Help now!

OK, my Naso Tang that I've been having problems with was lying on the bottom of the tank on its side, it was breathing, and looking around but not moving... i tried to net it and it swam a little half-heartedly to the other side of the tank and got stuck against my power head so i put it in the net and clipped the net against the side of the tank. What do i DO??????

 

If its getting stuck on power heads it may be too late already. Have you tried feeding it anything? I wouldn't keep it in the net. The razor on surgeon fish can get caught on netting.

 

So what do I do? freshwater dip? it won't eat. i tried that should i just let it go back into tank and hope for best?

 

Do you have any other tanks lying around you could set up as qt? If you do get it up and running using water from the tank its in now. when you catch the fish use some type of large pitcher to gently remove it and reduce stress.

 

OK doing it now

 

OK, it's done but my other tank is a POS eclipse hood on a 30 gallon and the pump that pulls water up to the filter is dead >< and my maxijet 400 has bad impeller.

 

Only powerheads that work are koralia #4's and I'm scared to put them in a 30 gallon.

 

god my LFS doesn't open until 1 pm and its only 11 here. I knew I should have taken this fish in before now, but I thought it was doing better!!!! *cries hysterically*

 

Do you have any air pumps? That would be better anyway.

 

I don't think so. you mean like those things I've seen on FW tanks?
