dead fish

Hello, I’m new to this, but I bought a gem tang Thursday along with a Midas blenny and a mandarin fish. I dripped the gem and mandarin together because they had just come in from shipment to my LFS. I dripped the blenny separate because he was already in the store for a while. Yesterday, I saw...

So I have a 10g half moon tank and it came with a lid, it was a used tank so I just made do and thought it was good enough. However today one of my clownfish decided to abandon ship and squeeze out through a small opening in the lid so I want to invest in a mesh top since I’ve lost 3 clowns now...

My boyfriend and I just bought a yellow tang 2 days ago(Sunday). We put it in our qt tank to watch for a couple weeks before moving to our main display. Perameters: 30g tank running for about 2 months now with previously housing some fish from our main display, temp 80F, salinity 1.025, ammonia...

I’ve had marine velvet in my tank for the last two weeks now and it has killed all of my fish so far. Does anyone know how to remove it from the tank and how long that will take?

I woke up this morning to find my bicolor angelfish upsidedown in the sand. The night before it was swimming, behaving, and eating normal, as it has been for the past 3 weeks. What’s strange is it’s mouth was lodged open and red. What could’ve happened? Maybe it ran through the power head, or...

Hey, so out of nowhere this morning I found my bicolor blenny dead. I had literally just seen him alive 5 minutes before I found him. I am just trying to figure out why he died? I am pretty much on top of everything regarding my tank. My two clowns are healthy and eating. The blenny has been...

I had a red planaria breakout and treated it with flatworm exit. Treatment was good as only did half recommended measure but severely under estimated the amount of worms in tank. Toxin from dead worms has wiped everything out, only bits of coral flesh sticking out from rocks. Have totally...

Hello all, this is my first post on this forum over the past 8 weeks I have been setting up my reef tank with my LFS and everything was going pretty well until yesterday. Cycled water for 4-5 weeks then added a black and white clownfish followed by a yellow clown goby a week or so later. Fast...

Hello all, I am new to Marine Tank and Saltwater aquariums and looking forward to share stories and learn about different techniques and tips for my 20 gal reef tank. I'm currently having a huge problem with the Tank. All my fish (2 Clowns, 2 blue Damsels and 1 Yellow Watchman Goby) died...

Hi All-- I've had my Melanurus Wrasse for 5-6 years. I got it when it was not an adult-size fish. I just recently (within the past few weeks) got a Rock Flower Anemone. It moved about 4-5 inches from where I first placed it at the bottom of the tank, between a rock and the sand. I found my...

a few days ago, all my fish had begun dying. I found that my nitrates were sky rocketing (500 ppm) and I was so disappointed I didn’t catch it earlier. I was panicking trying to save what I had left, so I did a total water change because of how crazy the nitrates were. Just this morning my last...

I started a thread in the emergency threads the other day. I just transferred all of the content/livestock from a friend's tank to my tank last week. All was well, but ammonia started to skyrocket. Well, pretty much everything is dead now. Deaths included the CUC, 2 peppermint shrimp, 1 Skunk...

I just took over a tank from a friend. She gave me about 45 pounds of live rock, 2 ocellaris, 1 dottyback, 2 striped damsels, a decorator crab, and 1 cleaner shrimp. She had them all in a 40-gallon breeder with a cheap protein skimmer. I just moved it all to my 50-gallon with a 20-gallon sump...
