I have a 180 tank it had 6 fish now only 2
I lost 4 in a very short time 3 friday and 1 today...
I checked all levels Friday when my Emperor Angel and both Percelua Clowns died... PH 8.5 Nitrates 20 ppm Nitrites 0 Salinity 1.025
Because I was so worried I decided to take my water to a local fish store... they tested it and said everything looked good... maybe slightly high on ALK but just barley...
Then Clowns there was no notice at all... the Angel was in the midist of his color change... so he was a little pale... but I on Tuesday but was eating and moving around like normal... the Friday Morning looked horrible so I moved him to QT when I got home he was dead and both clowns were also...
Saturday morning I did a 50 gallon water change... (I do 35 gallons once per month and it was set to be done that day but I did 50 because of my problems)
Sunday morning my Dog Face Puffer looked bad laying on the bottom breathing heavy... no signs of red lines or white spots on him... but I did a fresh water dip Sunday night because I didnt think he was going to live through the night and I wanted to try something... well Monday morning he looked better breathing and moving... but when I got home he was dead...
I took him and another sample of water the a local fish store... they looked and him and said there was nothing noticalby wrong and all my water levels looked good...
They were stumped as to what is happening also... any ideas?
I now only have a juv Harliquen Tusk (3 inches) and a Coral Beauty Angel left... they look very healthy and are acting normal...
the Crabs seem to be move active than normal...
Also in the past two months I have had a little (not much) red algee grown on rocks and sand.... that is all that has changed...
Ideas?
