Someone PLEASE help me!

I just moved my fish tank and used 1/3 new water to 2/3 of the old water. I hadn't hooked up the filter, bubbler or heater and not even 24 hours later one of my sharks is laying on his side with red eyes and the other is covered in white stuff that looks cloud like all over his body on one side and on both of its eyes. :-[ It's late and i cant get to the store untill tomorrow and even when i do i don't know whats wrong. Are the suffering from the same thing? my heater, filter and bubbler are on now but it doesn't seem to matter.

​

 

Ok, wow, hang on. Sharks??? As in multiple?? How big is your tank???? They are obviously shocked, and the one that's covered in white stuff is presumably ICH. We need a LOT more info to diagnose this. I don't know much about sharks but I DO know they need HUGE tanks. Your typical 125 gal ain't gonna cut it. Tell us the size of your tank, how long its been running, your test readings, etc.... Sounds like it might be too late though. Sorry! We need your help to help you! :-[

 

Fresh or salt? I'm guessing fresh since you have plural sharks. Did you bring the new water up to temp? Sounds like an ick breakout. Best treatment that I've seen for freshwater ick is to take temp up to 80

 

Quote I hadn't hooked up the filter, bubbler or heater and not even 24 hours later ...

Suffocation was the Cause of death what type where they not that it matter really but if they where real sharks of any type ? These particular animal have to have lots of dissolved oxygen and water circulation bring it the oxygen to them at all times and I'm surprised they both did not die sooner with no water circulation and filtration.. Not to mention low temperatures. Marine tank keeping 101 is water circulation , water circulation water circulation Class dismissed

 

OK... i woke up this morning and the one shark thats eyes were red was dead. They are ID sharks. Freshwater and only suppost to be 12 inches long at full size. My tank is a 60 gallon but my sharks were only a couple months old. it takes years to get to 12 inches long. So what do i do now? the one is dead but yet the other seems to be getting better. He's still acting weird but not much signs of the ick anymore. the temp is just above 80 and has been for about 12 hours. Can anyone tell me what to do now? should i go to the fish store or can i save him just by keeping the water temp up? if so, how long? Thanks for helping, i know little about fish and was told they would be easy to care for.

 

did you use Ro/Di water or just tap water?

 

Can you tell us a bit more about your tank's equipment? What kind of filtration are you using?
I believe she has a iradescent or bala "sharks"...they've got a couple other common names...real nice looking fish, but I've never had luck keeping them myself...

 

just tap water, i dont know what RO/DI water is

 

Did you use a freshwater decholorinating product like StressCoat in the water?

 

iradescent shark is the full name for them. my filter is a whisper40 power filter. it is a little older do you think it needs new filter stuff :S
