i woke up this morning to find my blue chromis (first fish) has lost color and is swimming quite strangly mostly vertical (like its exagerating the way firefish swim when standing still) verry irratic it looks as if its caught in a current it cant control it self in so i put him in a qt with verry low flow (no powerheads) and hes still doing it is there a way to save him?
:help: :help: :needhelp:

well ihavent really added anything for a good 4 months aside from snails mainly due to funds but i had origonally
2 blue reef chromis
1 occelaris clown
crabs and snails
the chromis fought because i put A PAIR in -*#&$ lfs and amazingly the more tame one survived
then it was
1 blue cromis
1clown
2 firefish
1 cleaner shrimp
crabs and snails
all did great for a good 4 months (asside from territory issues between clown and fire fish first week or so in the 29) clown and chromis best buds (probably didn't realise they're different species) then all of a sudden the chromis just up and dies water params good temp normal the only thing i changed was added a skimmer and small powerhead could that have been a problem?
:notsure:

It seems to me that a single individual tends to waste away even though they're perfectly healthy. They do much better in a large school. They get really timid especially around more aggressive fishes.
