[NJDragonet]

I have 2 maroons clowns, a goby (if still alive) haven't seen him yesterday or last night, i have also another tang, salinity is 127, phosphate is somewhat elevated I'm working on it , calcium 480, ph 8,0

Sailinity is 127! is that a typo lol

Oh wow ok I think I can rule out ammiona burns 100% HLLE

 

[NJDragonet]

Treatment of HLLE is empirical and relies on the elimination of any potential stressors. Water quality should be improved if necessary, overcrowding reduced, and a balanced and varied diet should be fed.

 

[NJDragonet]

There is no singular cause for Hole-In-The-Head Disease, and there are some species of fish that seem predisposed to it, such as Tangs and Surgeonfish. Although occasionally caused by a parasite (Hexamitid spp.), it is not commonly found with most infections. Many stressors, such as poor water quality or diet, can start the chain of events that lead to Hole-In-The-Head Disease.




Other possible causes or influences on the progression of Hole-In-The-Head Disease include:

• Stray voltage
• Stressors including aggression and poor water quality
• Nutritional deficiencies
• Use of activated carbon

Also what type of tang is the other tang?

 

[NJDragonet]

Nothing can do much I would say do not dose with anything yet keep the tank fallow for 42-75 days. Better the water levels and keep an eye on it

 

[NJDragonet]

It was a sailfin I think it is possible that he could have killed/stressed out the other tangs a lot can happen when the lights go off

[Qasimja]

i believe i can see ich or velvet spots on your rabbitfish in those photos and your sailfin looks a little dusty i think you have a parasite in your tank

Then it is HLLE I sat if you really want a safeguard herbtana would be best also keep the tank fallow for 45-75 days

The sailfin? but remember I'm loosing them prior to add this guy 3 weeks ago, what confused me if the film of dust all over the rocks and on the bodies of some of the ones that die already
