I had two angels in quarantine and I was about to switch them over to my 100 gallon tank. I let the bag aclimate and then I slowly added water from the 100 gallon tank to the bag they were in. I put them in the tank and they were fine at first. I then noticed after a couple of minutes that they were despriately gasping for air and one of them was even going upside down. I have co2 in my tank which apparently they arent used to. But all my other fish are fine that are already in the 100 gallon. So I took them out really fast and put them back in the quarantine tank and they are fine. What caused the and what can I do to prevent this?
