29gal of death

[kylepelk]

hello everyone. iv been having a problem with my 29gal biocube. iv had a lawnmower blenny and two clowns in the tank for a while and i decided to add 2 more fish in it about 2 months ago. i added a convict goby and a purple gramma. well after a few days of them being in there the purple gramma was starting to rub its sides on the rock and gravel. well i did a little research but couldnt come up with anything. well a few days later i found him dead. then it went really down hill from there. the lawn mower was next then the two clowns. the clowes looked like there sides and face were milky looking. no spots. the only one left was the convict blenny. well another month passed and i decided to give another fish a try. i got a cardinal, thought everything was good sense the convict was doing great. well about a month after that the cardinal died out of the blue. no spots or anything. only thing i can think of was i stressed him bad when i rescaped the rock cuz of the convict digging away. well now last night the convit died out of the blue. he was acting very odd because he never comes out of the rocks unless to grab some food. well the day before he died he was all over the tank. anyone give any ideas or how long i should wait to try again? i do have corrals in the tank and two hermits and snails. thanks for the input!!

While you are waiting you can go through this thread to see if any of these match the description of what you saw on your fish ...

Sounds like you have a lingering disease in your tank, possibly velvet: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/velvet-amyloodinium-ocellatum.217570/

I would go fallow (fishless) for 76 days to starve it out, and QT all new fish moving forward: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/how-to-quarantine.189815/
