About 6 months ago I lost a fish for the first time in while. It was a Banggai cardinal. Showing no symptoms or marks. The fish one night started swimming in circles and jerking etc. Until it died in the corner.
After that other fish started to disappear. A couple showed similar symptoms as the Banggai and others just completely disappeared.
Since that time I have lost about 9 fish. Again, a few acting reclusive or swimming erratically or just seemingly vanishing.
Never any spots or marks. Always eating and active until just before the death/disappearance. I do have a large serpent star and a couple rock flowers nems (could be disposing of dead fish?).
I am left with a clown fish (been in tank for over 2 years) 3 blue damsels (in tank over a year), a leopard wrasse and a fang blenny (newest of the remaining fish). I have noticed the clown fish is hiding more lately. I have also seen her shaking and jerking some in mid water column.
Any thoughts on what could be going on? Recommended action?
