Today I wake up and get some coffee. I went to do my daily inspection of the aquarium and noticed our new dragonet upside down and not moving. I get in there and he is dead. Just last night he was eating copepods off our live rock and glass. This morning he's dead. No marks on him. No redness on his gills. No sunken in stomach. Nothing to tell me what happened. I went to feed our other fish and notice our Chalk Goby looks horrible. It's pretty obvious he hasn't been eating. He used to be a fatty. Always skimming food out of the live sand, coming up to the top of the tank at feeding time. I put garlic guard in the food and it looked like he was trying to eat but couldn't. Tank params are as follows:
55 gallon FOWLR
Went fallow for 83 days. Just transferred our fish back in after a velvet outbreak but none of the fish currently in the tank were exposed to velvet. We have 2 tanks and decided to condense after losing half our stock. Salinity .021 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 5 (but it's always like that, even our other tank). Could this be an internal parasite I can't see? Our other fish are eating perfectly fine. No other marks on the bodies of any of our fish besides Ghost's (chalk goby) stomach issues. Please help me. We can't go through this again!
