Hello All,
I have setup a marine tank in my garage to keep bait-fish, primarily pinfish. I setup this tank a week or so ago and have tested the water. When adding perfectly healthy fish to the tank they begin swimming upside down within hours and die. Larger fish last a day or so (swimming upside down) before they die. Small fish die within hours. I have tested for ammonia and nitrite, both zero. Salinity is the same as the water they came from and pH is around 8.2.
Any ideas what could cause such immediate and drastic deterioration of these fish, especially for such a hardy fish?
Thanks in advance,
JZ
