Both clowns died over night ?

[amdp9]

Video unfortunately blurry and shows the chromis mainly

Is there any way I can upload better from IPhone ? It goes to 99% then tells me that problem occurred

One more thing, I have UV sterilizer and protein skimmer as well both runs 24x7 too

Skimmer will help with O2 and UV will address free floating organisms that pass through the unit and not erase what is already existing

Assure lens and glass are clean and record, then place on you tube and then attach you tube video

That is a chromis not a tang. Did you think the store sold you a tang?

Tried to share if y’all see it better ? Wish I had other way to show it. I feel like I need help to save the rest of the tank

Those videos are too blue to tell anything - try filming on white lights.

Other fish didn’t die but Royal gamma did die the other night. But he went in to Pistol shrimp cave for hours and I thought he died because shrimp probably messed her up. I have Bristle Tang, Mandrain still there no sign of same white film on them ?

I meant the royal gramma

No she died two days prior

No she died two days prior

But did the gramma die at night was what I was wondering. The reason I wonder is that fish dying at night can mean an oxygenation issue

What would you do to prevent that ?

As others have said, you have some issues in that tank and should really rehome the Bristletooth ASAP.

I'd vote disease as the most likely culprit so far from what you've posted.

What kind of filtration do you have running on the Biocube?

Bristle tooth tang is way to big for that tank... They need at least 100G...

Indeed! I tried a Bristletooth Tang in my 40GB, he was good for a few months, and although they don't get as big as other tangs, they get a decent size.

Mine was a complete butthole...he owned the live rock and all caves and would bully any other fish who tried to enter any cave, because he thought he owned them all. High aggression and stress for my tank...he killed 2 fish, and almost a 3rd.

Easy solution...I traded him to my LFS for a Coral Beauty. Happily ever after, The End!

BTW....

Where is the @REEF2REEF tang Police at to raid your home with a swat team??

Or…. He has a chromis and a tang….

 

[Ziggy17]

They’re coming!!

Check your surface agitation, if the water is still you could point the output or a powerhead towards the top to help with gas exchange
