All my fish are hyperventilating and my corals are shrinking in HELP!

[Mastiffsrule]

Sorry this is still going on. Lots of avenues have been looked into. Just thinking outside, is there any of the fish that you can get a pix of, just to see?

 

[ReefJake123]

Was the water cloudy at all or clear when you first noticed the issue. Usually when fish are breathing hard it's an O2 issue. Over feeding and fish death cause a bacteria bloom depleting O2. Carbon and an air stone? Didnt read the entire thread....Just a suggestion.

Already talked about this earlier in thread water was a tad cloudy and my oxygen is fine

I’ll send pics of some dead ones to show how healthy they were I’ve got more to pull out my blood shrimp just died and my longnose hawkfish

 

[Mastiffsrule]

So sorry this is happening.

 

[ReefJake123]

I just don’t see any sign of root cause of death

 

[ReefJake123]

So sorry this is happening.

Thanks man this is really just destroying my heart I loved these fish they loved going in my hand and it’s just breaking me into pieces

@Frtdrmrose7 ?

I read that you haven’t added any new fish in 6 mos, what about anything else, snail, crab, piece of rock, etc. anything wet?

 

[ReefJake123]

The only fish I want to die are alive dangit this is freaking dumb I hate the chromis

No sir now that I think of though I recently like last Friday got a big zoa pack of 17 different zoas and I know they can release deadly toxins so my guess is this is their fault

Were the Zoas on frag plugs, rock?

Frag plugs

I think you brought in velvet or brook, I see some whitish skin in the pics above. If your Zoas were conducting chemical warfare I think all of your fish would be dead nearly at once. A parasite picks them off one by one according to the strength of their immune system, immunity doesn’t protect from toxins.

And where would I see any of those

Take them out (the magnets and inspect)- there is also resins that absorb metals. Check an ICP test if you think this might be a problem - if its positive - go on a search for metal - its possible - but unlikely. Stray voltage is possible as well - but unlikely (unless everything is affected - at least somewhat.)

Well this isn’t a one by one the coral beauty and yellow tang were the only two that died by themselves all the others died together

 

[Frtdrmrose7]

if it

Died together at the same time or moment or throughout the afternoon or so.

Not in my tank I have no magnetic items

Throughout the night I wouldn’t think the fish would die that quickly from a parasite if it’s picking them off one by one over 11 fish dead in the course of a day?

Absolutely velvet or brook can and will do that.

 

[ReefJake123]

Absolutely velvet or brook can and will do that.

My issue is I don’t see any sign of neither of them
