Something was off in my 60 gallon grow-out aquarium. The fish were showing signs that if not recognized and acted on quickly could have killed off my new batch of young ("juvie") fish. It was related to oxygen and here is what happened and what I learned. I believe I averted what could have been serious consequences. This taught me the importance of really looking and observing my fish and how I shouldn't hesitate to take action when something seems off. Maybe you'll find the information helpful.
After watching the video let me know in the comments if you've had a similar experience and what was the outcome. What did you do to remedy the situation?
