I am at the point of getting frustrated. I have lost several fish recently and not sure why/why. Each time they seemed 100% healthy before lights out and the next morning dead or dying and looking horrible. the latest was a paor of tak bred clown fish baought two weeks ago. The were active eating and looked awesome last night and today cannoteven find one and the other looks terrible. Whitish looking stringy stuff coming off fins(almost looks like peeling) and overall poor health. When I think of ich i think of slowly appearing distintive white spots I can see white spots but very small, I would say more of a fungus looking. What can hit so fast and deadly. I attached a picture of the one clown still alive which i have in a hopital tank right now sorry for bad quality but he is not turning the way i want i will try to get better shots. Parameter
nitrate, nitrite, amonia 0
SG1.025
phosphate .25
temp 76.5 All stable
I have cleaner shrimp, 3 green chromis, nassirus snails turbo snails, sand shifter starfish anda pipefish that have been doing great for months. I also have a sailfin tang doing great he has been in tank for over a month. He actually recovered from an injured eye recently and is very healthy and eating great.
I run a sump with a skimmer and chaeto. The only other thing i did recently is run some Kents Phosphate sponge in sump to reduce phosphates about a week ago.
I had a flame and dottyback come to exact same fatesrecently. Please suggestions
