No one can tell me why. He took fine when I put him in, was cool for a couple days, then suddenly dropped dead overnight. Took the fish in, it about 48 hours, and got another as there shouldn't have been any reason for him to die, I was hesitant, and should have stuck with my gut. The next did the exact same thing but faster. I have seperated clowns into quaritine tank and am treating them to make sure they don't catch anything.
Water quality is prestine, and I have someone else test it and get the same results. He showed no signs of sickness, was moving around the tank just fine, all yellow and pretty, nipping at algea, and then woke up in the morning, and was lying on bottom of the tank, stone dead. (no, not sleeping, I can tell the difference). I didn't see any wounds or anything. I'm completely confused.
Corals are just fine, the only thing I can think of were the glass anenomes that were developing on one of the live rocks. I have since removed that live rock since it is the only place they were, but I was told that shouldn't have caused it.
I've had two losses in less than a week, true it only cost me 1 fish of money, but still, I had two poor fish die on me, and I'm so bummed, I feel soooooo bad about it. =(
I think I'm going to just wait till my 10g is ready for coral, then move the corals there and take down the 24 gallon aquapod, it has been a grave to 7 fish thus far. 5 by my own stupidity, 2 by a complete mystery that no one can tell me why.
After I had the tank perfectly balanced too....
I'm thinking about stripping it down until it is a glass cube and using it as a normal tank in my office. I seem to have a whole lot more luck with normall tanks than this nightmarish in-tank sump type setup with a closed hood.
And more than likely, I'll just drop freshwater fish in there.....
