Hello reefers,
I had a bicolor blenny and a green clown goby die within 2 days after being alive for almost 2 weeks. All that remains are my pulsing Xenia, gsp, a sexy shrimp and some snails. Salinity 1.026, temp 75- 76 (a little low but not really), 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites and 0 nitrates, PH 8.4...I did have a tiger wardi goby die in it after I noticed it was having a hard time in my other tank. My suspicion was that it died from stress and being bullied but now I'm starting to think it might have had some disease. I inspect all of my fish and did not notice any kind of disease and I haven't had this problem until now. Is there a disease that can kill these fish within 2 days with no signs of illness before hand? No other fish are dying in the other tank. I did do a water change 3 days ago but nothing out of the ordinary and my other tank is doing just fine. I don't quarantine, I know I should but this is odd. I also added vibrant about 2 weeks ago but only half the dose to help get rid of some algae. The tank has been running for 4 months now with no fish until recently, I know it's cycled as well. Any thoughts or could it just be a coincidence?
