near catastrophe...

["Phil Eaton" <peaton@hotmail.com>]

Yesterday my wife sprayed some bug killer in the room where all my tanks 
are, and some of the bugs that were dead or dying fell into the tanks.  
When I got home I noticed one A. Borelli not doing so well with strange 
coloration, and some dead bugs in the tank.

I immediately cleaned the critters out of the tank, did a 50% water 
change, and put carbon in a power filter on the back of the tank.  

The rest of the fish appear to be okay, but the Borelli didn't make it.  
I think he ate one of the contaminated bugs.  Is there anything else I 
can do to help detoxify the tanks other than water changes?

Thanks for the help!

Phil
