Hi
It has been ages since I last posted and things have been going great until last week and then disaster struck.
First our mardarin looked dull and as through she had small blisters forming. The blenny seemed to loose his colour and was very quiet and not feeding and the tang was covered in white spot. Also our coral beauty developed pop eye.
Over the past 4 days only the tang has survived even though we have been treating the tank with some green liquid that covers various conditions including white spot, pop eye etc.
We have also lost our Orchid Dottyback and she showed no signs of being sick at all, one minute she was fine then she was dead.
Yesterday one of our clowns had trails of white mucas and today his fins look like they are rotting away. The six line wrasse is rubbing the rocks and the cromis has pop eye and looks like he will die any minute.
The water has been checked for everything and all the levels are correct, the temp is also ok.
We really don't know what to do as the system is 1 year old and this is the first time anything has gone wrong. The last thing to be introduced to the tank was the mandarin in December, we got her fom a friend and they have not had any problems.
As of the morning we only have 6 fish left
I tang - covered in white spot for a week but feeding
I clown - looking OK and feeding
1 clown - not feeding since yesterday and fins rotting
1 six line wrasse - feeding but rubbing the rocks
1 chromis - pop eye and looking like death
1 damsel - looking ok and feeding
Can anyone offer any suggestions as we have been told so many different things but they are all different. I also read on the net about using garlic, but then other articles said garlic will kill the fish.
We also have 2 shrimps, some crabs and 2 star fish that all look fine.
Please help before they all die, I know it is silly but I love all my fish and it is heartbreaking to see them like this.
Thanks
Janis
