So over the course of the last 5 years, we have had 2 salt water aquariums, with an array of problems diseases, fish and issues...nothing has been as bad as this.
2 months ago - we introduced 3 new lookdowns to our tank.
7 weeks ago - we had to move the 3 new lookdowns to our other tank, b/c they were very aggressive to the the other 3 lookdowns we had for the last few yrs. (never seen that before with them)
6 weeks ago- it started, one of the original lookdowns in the main tank started swinging like a maniac in circles and circles a few times and in a few days died.
With that happening we dosed the take with Life guard instant marine, just to be safe. A regular treatment, check water, salinity etc...everything fine, UV is working, nothing out of order...Copper levels are good.
5 weeks ago - same deal, 1 starts swimming in circles, dies - we lost another of the original lookdowns. our Dog-face puffer started puffing up for no reason for a few days every morning, seemed a little not him him self. we tested water, fine. no sign of disease, everyone else seemed normal, eating etc
4 weeks ago, same story we lost our last original Lookdown. Everyone else in tank was fine, eating all good. we put the 3 new lookdowns back in the main tank, seeing the others had all died...we notice black Ich on our yellow tank, we treat with formalin, tang dies a few days later, everyone else is good, new lookdowns are good.all others in tank are healthy, puffer is back to normal.
3 weeks ago - we wake up to a dead lookdown, and another breathing very heavy up at the top of the tank, by end of day 2 down one left. All other fish are fine...
2 weeks ago, last lookdown dies same way breathing heavy sluggish finally jsut sinks to bottom.
last night- puffer and grouper both heavy breathing sitting at the bottom of the tank, not normal for either one. we treat it again with Lifeguard...
Today they are both dead.
So now that you have read thru this whole story, what the is happening?
I appreciate any insight...
