Hello,
15gal AIO tank, 4 months new, with 8 fish now one one left (firefish)
royal gramma
2 clowns
firefish
2 blue chromis
yellow blenny
seven line wrasse
all have been in tank for a few months and healthy. one chromis disappeared several weeks ago.
yellow blenny and seven line wrasse was added exactly 2wks ago. yellow blenny died in 1wk. seven line wrasse 1-2 days later. royal gramma and 7 line wrasse a day or so later. never found the royal gramma but the wrasse looked perfect--i couldn't tell that he was dead just looking at him.
the 2 clowns acted strangely for a few days last week--they huddled on the bottom corner of tank next to the water outlet. i did notice on of the them scraped himself against the sand a few times. both were spotless and still eating the evening before they died. i did a 25% water change the night before they died. i did another 25% water change the morning i found the 2 clowns dead.
since this weekend, only 1 chromis and firefish were left. today, the chromis acted the same way the clowns did and died today.
firefish looks good and is spotless.
still have some snails and one shrimp crawling around
water parameters are normal on my home test and when i took a water sample to the LFS. pH around 7.8. temp 76-77.
corals are doing well. i have zoanthids but undisturbed since i glued them down months ago. i have a small bag of activated charcoal in the filter.
parasites? the sand scraping suggests that but every fish was spotless before and after. eyes where clear. no mucous coat.
there is algae but water is clear
voltage leak?
i have a small skimmer which should increase O2.
anyone with any thoughts?
thanks
