Hello, thanks for reading.
My yellow wrasse just died RIP.
symptoms point to ammonia poisoning judging from experience, but others are doing great.
I'm worried if they're in danger too, and wondering if one species can be that extremely sensitive to the point of death while others are very healthy.
one thing to note was she was under very heavy constant attack by my blue hippo tang whos about 3 times bigger. can bullying cause ammonia death?? or maybe spinal cord injury and suffocation? I've heard wrasses have spinal injury fairly often and he was swimming weird about 2-3 hrs before death
FYI Symptoms
1. laying on side or upside down at bottom, body slow turning over; lacking maneuver
2. before dying, gasping for air at the surface or some kind of dashes due to suffocation dunno like seizures
3. blood under part of body
4. very heavy breathing
5. fins missing
