[waveyflame]

75 i put the two bad ones in a 10 now with aquarium salt and start rigth any other suggestions, i move them around iwth my hand so they breath, they don't move at all

That water probably had chlorine in it, and sad to say but they usually don't bounce back from something like this.

 

[waveyflame]

so me moving it up and down isn't helping huh, the water in theren ow is pure from cholrine

 

[elTwitcho]

What do you mean by culligan water? If you mean water that's been run through a filter, it's just a carbon filter and yes it will still have chlorine in it.

If you have them in water that is free of chlorine (like bottled water) but initially did a change with tap water and caused chlorine damage to the gill membranes it's probably too late. Putting them in clean water after the fact is like giving you a bottle of spring water after drinking battery acid, the damage is already done.

well thanks for your hlep, the other 3 in my 75 seem to be doing alr\ight, i added de chorline stuff, is therea posisvblity they will go dead too? and what should i do about my 2 floating fish that are barely breathing

 

[elTwitcho]

Just see if they can pull through I guess. It doesnt sound good for them, but then again we don't know for sure it was chlorine (that's just my guess). If the other three are doing ok this long after the change, they're probably alright.

 

[waveyflame]

yeah, that sucks, i guess losing 2 is better than losing 5, thanks again for your help, i think i'm gonna just let the 2 live there last breaths and hope the 3 are okay and call it quits, thanks thoug

well, if you loose any, you can always call a taxidermist. you have to treat the water with a conditioner and make sure it's the same temp or near the same if you don't have a themometer. And do not change any more than 25% of your water in one day, this could affect the ph and the temp of the water and make the fish go into shock. Hope this helps, sorry for your fish.
