Hey Guys,
I'm starting to get discouraged and I don't know if its my fault or not but I just had a new fish die. Since my Scopas Tang died about 2 weeks ago it's starting to get to me. The Scopas Tang I believe was a freak accident where he ingested some kind of plastic. There is a forum about that mystery in my post history.
But yesterday, I added a new Foxface Rabbit-fish, he survived less than 24 hours. This is literally the last fish I want in the tank, I think they're so cool and I'm so upset this one didn't even make it the first day. Its current residents are 1 blue damsel, 1 dwarf zebra lion, and 1 algae blenny. In a 75 gallon tank. They are all doing fine, growing, have been in the tank since day 1.
Also, since I know it will be asked, no I didn't quarantine. I don't have a good excuse for that.
But anyways, here are my parameters as of the time the Foxface passed away, will someone please point out if I'm doing something wrong, besides not quarantining, I already have plans to fix that.
Calc: 400
Dkh- 8-9(its a color the water test kit so exact is hard)
Phosphate is now close to 0 after adding phosguard
Nitrates, nitrites, and ammonia are all down to 0. I had done a water change two days before the new fish came.
I've reached out to the vendor- and when i called they told me i had to email in my complaints with pictures and theyd contact me within 12 hours. Its been 24 now.. they also left out 7 of the 10 scarlet crabs in my clean up and sent me a pom pom xenia that was supposed to be 1-2 inches but is less than 1/4th inch.. I'm not going to name and badmouth the vendor as maybe this is a fluke but the lack of care in the other details makes me wonder if they took care of the fish the way they claimed as well...
