Hey guys, so I’ve had a blue/green chromis for about a year now and has always done well. On Friday of this week I fed the tank in the afternoon before leaving for a camping trip, came back Sunday (today) to find him dead. There’s no sign of disease in the tank. Would he really have died from skipping one day of feeding? Last weekend I was away for 4 days and he had 2 days without eating. I fed heavy all week knowing I’d be leaving for another day. I rarely leave my house for extended times but when im on vacation I typically have somone feed my tank every other day. When I’m home which is most of the time I feed Daily. I’m confused.

I also have 2 clowns in this tank. They have lived together for a year. This is a 75 gallon display.

Water parameters are all good?

How long had the Chromis been in the tank?

Any signs of previous battle damage?

No signs of battle damage and he’s been in the tank over a year. Tbh haven’t checked parameters yet.
