Sorry for being such a noob guys, this is my third newbie post to the site now..
Heres my problem. I purchased a Flame angelfish about a week ago. The tank looks like this:
90 Gallon acrylic
30lbs live rock(getting more soon)
marineland c360 canister
Life:
Volitan lionfish
Firefish Goby
Yellow headed sleeper goby
Fire Angel
Scooter Blenny
Coral Banded Shrimp
2 Turbo Snails
5 redfoot/zebra hermits
Sally Lightfoot crab
Chocolate Chip Starfish
Brittle Starfish
Okay, back to my problem. I added the flame about a week ago, everyone seemed very happy. Last night I got home, and it was time to feed my lion. I dropped in about 5 guppies, and he ignored them. He was also sitting on the bottom of the tank.
The firefish and sleeper came out to eat just fine, scooter blenny was scootin around just fine. everyone else was moving, but the flame was missing.
After watching the tank like a hawk for about 45 minutes, the flame came from behind the rocks, and laid on his side right in the middle of the tank and started breathing hard. As soon as i saw this, i took him out and put him in a quarantine(pitcher I use for water changes) that i put partial tank water, and partial newly mixed saltwater. He died about 5 minutes later... :(
I then noticed my lion had his mouth wide open, breathing VERY hard. I ran out the door and raced down to the LFS to buy a protein skimmer. Seaclone 100... Not the best, but the best they had. I had no idea what else to do.
I hooked it up, and let it run overnight. This morning, I came down VERY early to check on everyone. I put in some frozen brine, everyone came out to get a bite, including the banded shrimp and sally. Everyone was swimming around fine.
I then dropped in 1 guppie, the lion raced over to inhale it. I dropped in 5 more, he did the same. Looks like hes eating fine, not breathing hard anymore, ect.
...Am I fine?
