First and foremost I'm new to the aquarium life. I currently have a gooby, blue throat tang, 2 clowns, foxnose, and a damsel I'm trying to catch and get rid of. My tank is 75g. My parameters are : ph- 8.2, amm. - 0 , nitrite - 0 and Nitrate- .25. Just did a 30% water change 1 week ago with RO. Within that week I've lost my angel and my sailfin. 2 days ago I found out my foxnose has ich. I'm currently treating my tank twice a day with Kordon ich attack. Now today one of my clowns are acting real funny staying at the bottom of the tank and appearing to be breathing heavy but still eats. I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO...PLEASE HELP.

Two possibilities i can think of, either ammonia poisoning or lack of oxygen.
You can treat both, either do a water change again or add some Seachem Prime to neutralize the ammonia. As far as oxygen goes a cheap airstone and air pump can help there. I doubt ich is the culprit in multiple fish loss so quickly especially in that short of time.

Maybe lack of oxygen. But I have a wave maker and none of the fish go to the top of the water. Also my ammonia level is 0.

This also happened to my clownfish, banggai cardinal and firefish and sadly they didn't make it. Turns out I had high nitrates and there was lack of oxygen in the tank. Maybe use some seachem stability? Good luck. Hope your clownfish survives.

Thx. I've used seachem and I'm running a wave maker. Idk

Test kits are kinda like a telling time with the sun.. they give you an idea but shouldn’t be the only thing you use. The fact that your losing fish means something drastic is wrong..

I know. I just can't figure it out. My foxface has ich so I'm thinking that it spread from the angel and salifin and it's rapidly spreading.

I also just ordered a air stone with the tubing and pump so if it's the oxygen I'll be fixing that issue very shortly
