Hey all,
Over the past month, I've lost 3 chromis slowly. One would start acting oddly, self isolating, not eat, and start gasping. After about a week they would die. I thought this was due to bullying from the other Chromis and did not think too hard on this. After my third chromis death, my female bartlett anthias is now exhibiting similar behaviors, self isolating, laying in the rock work and gasping. She started doing this yesterday afternoon. I don't see any ich on her. Any ideas on what this could be? Oxygenation shouldn't be the issue in the tank, however I am going through a cyano outbreak, and this is about week 3 of an initial reeflux dose to get rid of hair algae. No other fish are showing any signs of distress and coral and anemones are all looking healthy. Tank is several years old. No other major changes in the tank.
