One week ago, I added a gem tang, a mandarin and a blenny. Everything was just fine before then.
Sunday, the gem tang got stuck to the side of my powerhead and died Monday. Also died Monday, the mandarin.
Tuesday, I lost my blue eyed kole tang. so right then I started treating for ich with metroplex, focus and ich-x at half strength in the tank. Turned off skimmer and UV.
Today, I lost my clownfish.
I am trying to save the rest of the fish, and I can set up a quarantine 10 gal tank for all of them (YT, small blue hippo, one clown, goby and blenny).
These are my questions:
1. I’m attaching pics of the (sorry, now dead) clownfish, but I would say all fish had some kind of white spots on them, I’ve seen pictures of diseases and I have real trouble discerning between all of them. What do we think this is?
2. When I set up the quarantine tank, can I put everyone in there together? I only have to match temp and salinity and add aeration, correct?
3. Can I use my powerhead from my DT in the quarantine tank for aeration just on a low flow? Or do diseases attach to equipment?
4. I do have a crab and a cleaner shrimp, what do I do with them?
5. I have some coral, but honestly I’m more worried about saving my fish. If I lose the coral, then so be it. But any help telling me what to do with that is also helpful.
