Hello R2R,
Hopefully the #reefsquad can help me out here. Last week my french angel that I have had for 4 years randomly died. he was acting perfectly fine the day before. I cam home from doing some running around and found him very lethargic, getting blown around by the flow struggling to stay up right and looked stressed. I put him in a specimen tank in the display to hopefully help him but he died the next day, no torn fins, marks, parasites, nothing, looked healthy as ever. I did a water change that day of 15 gallons (110 gallon FOWLR )as well as a water test:
Ph-8.1
Ammonia-0
Nitrite- 0
Nitrate 50+ (have had that reading for a while and working on bringing it down so I know it was not because of nitrates)
Salinity- 1.026 S.G
Fast forward to today and my porkfish that I have also had for 4 years is showing the same symptoms, stressed colors and acting very lethargic, yet was acting fine yesterday.
It is only happening to 1 fish which has me baffled and freaking out. I have done nothing near or in the tank that would cause anything to change. I have done a 15 gallon water change every other day this week.
Thanks,
Any help is beyond appreciated!!
