What started out as a beautiful salt water tank journey that was sooo relaxing for my husband and I has turned into a total nightmare with fish dying left and right. The fish places where we live aren’t very educated and the feedback was that saltwater tanks aren’t hard they’re just expensive so we jumped in. We believe the problem started with the purchase of the cutest dogface puffer fish then we learned that they are carriers of internal and external parasites and shouldn’t be in a tank with other fish. No problem, we just set up another tank. Eventually that tanks ph spiked and he looked bad, not thinking my husband put him back in the main tank temporarily. We purchased a much larger tank for dogface and put him back in his tank alone. Things went down hill pretty quickly from there. The main tank had a fish that had white specks on him, started what treatments were told, then other fish started having issues, cloudy eyes, black spots, lethargy, not eating. Spoke to a store owner who is a marine biologist did meds recommended, fish just die once started. We literally don’t know what to do and about ready to just take the tanks down. It has been beyond sad watxhingndogface suffer for weeks, thankfully he passed away last night. The odd thing is, everything in the tank is exactly where it should be for levels. What do we do? We have a handful of fish left at this point and they look worse today than last night so expecting to loose them too
