One of my blacker ice clowns decided to jump out of the aquarium in the middle of the night. Peaceful tank, that loss is just my luck.
But what I can’t figure out is why my red rooster wasp fish died. I got him a week ago, and today he bit the bullet. He was just sitting on the sand bed still enough that I questioned his liveliness and so I booped him with the pipet and get slowly backed away.. ok little feller I’ll leave you be. Well about 3hrs later I just happened to look at the tank and saw him convulsing for a few seconds then went belly up.
I’ve been very minimally dosing seachem reef trace. Are wasp fish that intolerant of copper, or something else that’s in the reef trace?
