Hey guys. I come to you a bit discouraged and frustrated this morning. After FINALLY figuring out my stock and getting clowns that get along I was so content yesterday! I went out to dinner with my family and everything was completely normal before I left. My clown was swimming in a place that wasnt normal for him, but nothing crazy. When I got home 2 hours later, he was missing and I found him tucked under a tiny rock ledge on the sand gasping for air. He didnt make it through the night. I was baffled until I started researching and found the symptoms of velvet. Sensitivity to light, check. Lethargy, check. Heavy breathing, check. Dustyness on body, check. I examined the body carefully and it was definitely Velvet, not ich. I am moving my last fish (clown) to a QT tank and letting my tank sit Fallow for 6 weeks and just focusing on the coral. Any advice here? Anything special I need to do/know? I have, admittedly, rushed a bit with this tank in the last few weeks and think this fallow break will be good to keep things in perspective for me.
