Oh I'm out of the fish buying for at least 8 months. I just lost the flame wrasse female an hour ago. And one anthia looks off. Like it has been in a vise or something. Weird puff marks.
I checked for ammonia and nitrate and everything looks normal. Weird I'm confused. Ph normal. I'm a check nitrite to make sure.


I have gone from not losing anything to illness for well over a year. To presently losing about 18 fish in the past 3 weeks, it's pretty gnarley.

My guess is I have gone from not losing anything to illness for well over a year. To presently losing about 18 fish in the past 3 weeks is pretty gnarley.

Extremely gnarly, nothing has changed in your tank?
Well the one that's a 90 plenty. No rocks for one but all the fish that had it good are alive and well. The new additions seem to drop like flies.

These are all wild caught fish. Like I said I'm done on the fish for a long while. Its puzzling, I use to be able to do whatever to my tank and never have ich. Sob

I hate wild caught fish, but all the ones I really want are...

Ammonia took a 3 brand to confirm. Again dumbest **** ever! Recently took out all the LR never bothered to check my ammonia levels till I saw this fish die today. I'm like WTF.

So I learn again, chalk one up for the stupidest thing I've done this week!
