SEA MONSTERS?????I need some advise

[cmkdline]

ok I have an 85g bow front tank.my tank has cycled and all the water tests came back perfect. I have 90 of lr & 30 of ls , 2 powerheads , 2 filters a coral light and 3 other lights.at present it has
1 cb shrimp
1 blue dam
1 sgt major
1 3 stripe dam
1 domino dam
1 turbo snail
2 very small hermits
now over the past week I have lost I mean totally lost can not find them at all no bodies or anything that says they even exsisted....
1 scooter blennie
2 blue dams
1 spotted puffer.
so here is my question what the heck happened to them I go to bed at night , turn off their light wake up in the morning and another one is missing. before I go to bed I count all my fish & inverts & when I wake up they are gone . Help please....

Perhaps they are jumping??? You should be able to find bodies though... I'd try checking the tank at night to see if you have a mantis shrimp or something that came in with the LR...

I have the same problem. The only thing we have in common is the CBS. Otherwise it could be ick?

 

[ct_vol]

With ick, you will have white pustules on your fish... Its kind of hard to miss... Besides which, you will still see their dead bodies the next morning...

 

[coolguy818]

not if it got devoured, by the Shrimp and the snails and the hermits.......

 

[cmkdline]

nope it's not ick cause every one is doing great and as for jumping I have looked every were so I have no clue what could be happening to my lil guys

 

[ct_vol]

A carcass will not totally be gone by morning... Like I said, I suspect you got something in with your LR... Mantis Shrimp are notorious for hiding in the nooks and crannies of your LR... And worst case scenario, you might have a eunicid worm... lol

I'm not kidding you this same exact thing happened to me. So i did what I didn't want to do in the first place. I took the tank apart. All the rocks, all the coral, everything.
I had fish in the rocks, underneath rocks, in the back where you can't see them.
i think its fish phenomenon I guess, more than one fish dying at once for no apparent cause.

 

[cmkdline]

what r those ?

 

[coolguy818]

not good from the sound of it.

 

[cmkdline]

so the only way to get rid of these monsters is to disasemble my tank?

 

[coolguy818]

Disassembling the tank will get the dead fish out, so that your water won't get polluted and you'll see everything else die.
Do you hear a Clicking noise from the tank???????

 

[cmkdline]

no no clicking at all

if you have any led lights at night sneak up and search the tank for any possible bristle worms or that might-be mantis shrimp keep ur eyes open in all the openings in the live rock...
