EMERGENCY
1. check the water parameters: pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrates
2. do the fish physical
3. change some or all of the water, if the gills arent fried add 1
teaspoon of salt
per 5 gallons. This can be increased to 3 teas. per 5 over a few days. Use
rock salt
with no additives.
4. from the water parameters and physical decide on a course of action
5. if there is nothing specific, do the tub to tub method

do a partial water change 30 -50 %
if you have any sea / kosher / pickleing salt add a level teaspoon for
every 100 gallons of water.. don't add table salt

post back with more details..
Size of tank/pond
type of filter
water temps
water test results

This is a perfect example of the dangers of salt. Two posts, similar
instructions, but way different numbers, and NEITHER post suggests checking
the current salinity before adding more salt. Suppose this fish is dieing
from the salinity being high?
