I've learned the hard way that I must QT the fish that I bring into tank. I trusted the opinion of my LFS and now I have this problem.
4 fish lost almost the exact same way
1. Right before lights turn off - fish is showing no signs of stress (eating, maybe alittle more hiding in rocks)
2. The next morning the fish is dead.
3. To my untrained eye the fish has no damage, no spots, nothing that I can tell (hard to tell with CUC ready to take action)
4. This has happened to 4 fish.
So I'm pretty sure I have something in tank, but I can't figure out what to do next. The only fish left are 3 clowns, diamond goby, and a lawnmower. I can't see any signs of stress from them.
But I don't know what to do, except wait this out and see what happens to the fish. And when will I know the crisis is over. I have many invertibrates - crabs, shrimp, urchin and none of those have died.
The tank has been moved about 2 months ago - but cycled very quickly because of the live rock.
I think my water is good, taken samples down to LFS and they confirm.
It is a 125 gallon tank. The coral frags I have in tank are also doing well.
Any advice on how to proceed?
