A little info: I’ve had an aquarium going 14months now. Not QTing anything because I’m a dumb noob! Put a fish in, ich pops up, so I setup QT tanks. All surviving fish go into QT and cuppramine treatment is administered for 5 weeks at between .4 and .45ppm. Stopped cuppramine, and have done 3, 50% water changes to remove it. I’ve had 4 blue green Chromis for 6 months with no sign of disease, and when added to QT, that triggered them to pick on the weakest. 2 died after a week, and then things calmed down. When cuppramine treatment ended, I noticed the smaller of the two remaining Chromis sitting at the bottom of the tank with what looked like wounds. Found him dead this morning. The remaining Chromis doesn’t have a mark. Am I dealing with uronema that is just now showing itself, or does this seem more like fighting wounds? I also have a six line with them but he seems disinterested in the Chromis.

I'm guessing bullying and starvation, basically the other fish probably didnt leave him anything. His stomach looks sucked in, should be more rounded out.
