Tonight I came home to my favorite fish dead being eaten by my hermits (firefish). Everything was normal - he's always eaten great since I got him roughly 3 weeks ago. I did notice this afternoon my yellow watchman was oddly out and away from his hole on the other side of the tank and would occasionally swim up and perch in the corner of the glass like he did when I first added him to the tank. I also noticed when I got home that my royal gramma was out from his hole and sitting next to the overflow (watchman is still out too).
Any ideas why everyone's acting weird and may (or may not have) caused this random death or is it just a coincidence? Cleaner shrimp and all snails/hermit crabs seem normal.
The only thing I did differently today was use a new pair of those yellow rubber gloves to scrub some algae off a rock. Could a chemical or something have leached off of that?
Tank: 40 breeder
Salinity 33-34
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0.05
Nitrite between 5-10
