I made the mistake of using foam not made for filtering and all my fish started doing that (shaking head from another thread). I'm sure I poisoned them... I lost one.. it's been two weeks and they are still not acting right. I've changed the water completely, added quick start etc.. they are not eating much if at all but just hoping they are getting food off the bottom. Im freaked out and don't want them to suffer....

imo, there's only watching to see who/if they make it or not. I'd probably do a water test to see how the parameters are (in case it's something else) but what's done is done (if indeed the foam 'poisoned' them).

Sorry for the situation.

@RickD. Hello and welcome. Please tell us some more about your pond, how big it is, how many fish, etc. And exactly WHAT was the foam that you used?
