sorry to hear about the loss. Just shows how sensitive they were in the environment supplied.

Prime is a dechlorinator made by seachem, its removes chlorine, chloroamine and ammonia, it also detoxifies nitrite

[dandaman352]

just out of curiousity while we're on the subject if you do have nitrite lets say in your tank or ammonia and you add prime does it still show up on your tests even if its been neutralized or would it not show up at all

[AHC]

Yeah it still shows up mate. But you know its not toxic if you have used Prime. Its also good to note (Prime aside) the lower the PH, the less toxic ammonia is - but naturally that does not mean to rest up on water changes. Lots of big water changes is the key then gradually move back to your usual 2 - 3 times weekly (depending) is the best way. I say this only because you can treat for current ammonia using Prime but more ammonia can build up and if you have only treated once - thinking that its all clear may lead you down an awful track.

you might want to test your tap water to see if the ammonia came from the tap if it did then you'll want to use something like prime to take care of the water or every water change you'll poison the fish
