I had a very unfortunate accident happen today
to my 20 gallon tank that has been running for over
2 years. I have a miniature cooling fan on top of the tank
to cool the water down when it gets to hot.
I put the fan on at 6:00pm today, when I checked
my tank last it was 7:45pm, the fan had fallen in the tank,
I have no idea how long it was in there, but I had found
my two damsels (domino, 3 stripe) stuck to the filter,
my maroone clown on the bottom, and my strawberry
basslet was no where to be found.
I threw my damsels into my 60 gallon with my assasi
trigger and put my maroone in a 10 gallon quarantine.
I also saved my sally lightfoot, 2 blue legged hermits,
and condy anemone which also went in the quarantine.
All these fish and inverts were saved.
my only casualities were my strawberry gramma, my
arrow crab, and 1 turbo snail.
My question is....in my 20 gallon, what caused all my fish to get so sick? Did the fan shock them? Did the fan stir up the water and
cause an ammonia spike? Could have dust and dirt in the fan
screwed up the water quality? The water in the 20 gallon is
cloudly as hell. Should I do a big water change?
Someone please help!
