Hey guys, so we got our QT up and running while we cycle the main tank.. last Sunday we got a tomini tang, an orchid dottyback, and a yellow wrasse in there. They were doing great, have been in the qt almost a week.
Added a little MacroBacter Clean on Wednesday.
Thursday night our levels were:
Ammonia 1ppm
Nitrite 0
Ph 8.0
Nitrate 0
Planned to do a partial water change today (saturday) as there is a little food waste in the bottom.
This morning the fish were acting super weird, we acclimated them into the second qt which was running and warm just incase, exact same salinity.
Once in the acclimating bucket wrasse went limp, tang laying on bottom breathing super fast.
They've been in the clean qt for about an hour. Still being weird, tang breathing super fast and struggling to get up right and swim. She is getting up better than when she first went into acclimation bucket..
Dottyback unaffected
Just tested and ammonia is looking like 2ppm....
Is it the ammonia?? Could the macro bacteria be harming them?
Google and the testing kit say ammonia isn't high until 4pp. So 1 going onto 2 shouldn't be killing them??
Please help
