ive used rods food, frozen and freeze dried. never had any issues like that before. where are your nitrates, nitrites, ammonia, and phoshates at? isnt there usually a nutrient issue if you have dino? ive never had dino before but ive always kept my nutrients in check.

Yes. Triton method since start also dosing aminos. Was over feeding I believe a bit giving fish half sheet nori each day

Wow.....I will stop sucking my water with my mouth when I want to drop acclimate my fish.

if you drink water out of the ground there is stuff like that in there too. unless you drink only ro water which isnt very good for you.

 

[action21]

Same here from sandbed

ive heard people say overdosing amino acids is really bad. i give my tank aminos from time to time but not on a schedule or anything. i just pick a random day once a week or once in a two week period. depending on what else i add to my tank.

Yes mine are dosed based on remarks fromtriton icp. Icp tests sent quarterly

 

[Dimorb]

I dont dose anything other than trace elements and balling. Managed by ICP every other week.

So it shouldn't be toxic or overdose for me.

Perhaps some kind of parasite or build up inside of fish.

 

[Dimorb]

Starting to get really frustrated..

Lost a N. elegans 35 cm and a A. leucosternon 20-25 cm two weeks ago and this time it's a A. achilles and a A. olivaceus showing the same signs.

If there is something poisness it doesnt show on ICP it has to be inside the fish - maybe builds up to a point were the fish breaks down and gets sick.. with sickness/blindness comes bullying from other fishes, no feeding and other problems like extra weak/cant resist parasites etc..

I'm thinking it might be something that builds up inside the fish over time.. this only affects my largest fish - the ones that have eaten the most over a long time.

Or.. something poisness inside the aquarium that kills the fish.

Any advices? Need help with this problem.

Fishes affected over a 6 years period: Z. xanthurum, A. leucosternon, A. olivaceus, N. elegans. A. achilles..

You should consider sending a water sample to AquaBiomics for DNA analysis.

AquaBiomics

Microbiome testing for aquariums and aquaculture

aquabiomics.com

They can identify a number of known fish and/or coral pathogens based on the DNA of bacteria in the water. Here’s a report from my tank that was identified with a pathogen that kills chromis:

Thank you very much. I will use this asap.

Even if they dont find anything I will get some answers regarding if it's a problem inside the fish or external attack

I love this forum.
