    I realize they're a bit different, but for whatever it's worth, when I first received my six line from LiveAquaria and put it in QT, it spent every bit of 24 hours laying on it's side on the bottom of the tank, breathing ridiculously fast. I checked it out the next day expecting it to be dead. Nope, up and swimming around - albeit a bit nervous still. 24 hours after that it was eating just fine.

    I know that it's beyond hard to relax when your little ones are looking rough, but they'll probably perk up. Best of luck!

    Thank you! Reading that made me feel a bit better. So stressful! I hate seeing animals suffering.

    LOL knowing my luck they would probably find a way!! :eek:

    Just getting caught up again. I'm glad they arrived but feel horrible that two are in such dire straights! I've got my fingers crossed that they pull through and make a speedy recovery.
    If you do end up needing to do the cpr it will work. I've never done it on small fish but it's how I (and 100's of other fisherman) revive weak fish I want to release after catching.
