Hey everyone, I’ve had 3 fish die in the past 2 weeks. Two vivid fancy clowns and one golden Midas blenny. The first clown to die was my male clown and he never showed any signs of being sick so I thought maybe he choked on the shrimp I was feeding. But then my Midas blenny died out of no where about a week later after moving from place to place in the tank, I thought he was looking for a new home because he was out growing the hole in a rock he was living in but now I’m not sure. Then lastly my female clown died today after yesterday looking like she had brooklynella, however I’ve never had problems with it before nor have I added anything new to the tank in months.

Also my flame angel is looking very light in color in his mid section I’m assuming due to stress but again after the deaths I’m not sure.

If anyone has some insight on what could be happening I would appreciate it.
 
Roughly 7 months old, but I had the rocks and some of the fish in another tank before this one
 
You kinda describe either a parasite (ick) or a mantis shrimp. Maybe brook.

Not thinking velvet as it’s a fast killer.

You can’t always see, but a regular string of deaths, makes me lean towards those 3 things.
