hi there, i know i dont have many posts on this forum, my girlfreind L!$A does. We have a problem. We woke up this morning to our Mbu puffer lying on his side on the bottom of the tank. So I picked up him up gently with my hand to see if he was dead. He wasn't. So I brought him to the surface where began to take in air of course! So Im worried, he is now floating on the surface slowly letting air out and gaining back his strength & breathing steady . Has anyone had this experience before??

Tank: 120 Gallon 4x2x2
PH:6.4 :( i know its low but we did an immediate water change when I saw what was going on...So I know I lost some of the PH result.
Ammonia:0.6
KH:yellow right away below 10mg...
Nitrates:20
Nitrites:0

He's sick from the ammonia, so 80% water change after that air is out. Is he OK?
