Hello how is everyone I’m new to this hobby and it’s a great PTSD cure for me ! I use this website constantly for Great information !
Figured I’d post a question seeking help
The Aquarium :
Water tests :
everything is perfect using my salt water “master” test kit
I’ve bought this aquarium months ago let it run for around 4-4.5 months prior to adding fish !
The situation is this
I buy a Fish or a few fish I will put them in the tank everything is great ! Then within days I see 1 then 2 acting weird - Loss of energy , kinda “dazed or High” acting with swimming actions etc , they also turn Lighter then pass over night
This morning - to - after work my Pair of Dot dash butterfly’s passed away !
This pair was together for several months supposedly and I bought them as a pair
They shown NO signs of problems
Aggressive eaters , investigative swimmers , they were beautiful now this morning I woke up and seen the male (idk it was smaller than the other ) in the corner up against the glass I thought he was dead i Scooped him with the net to inspect him for damage or signs ? Then when he hit the air he completely freaked out flapping showing a lot of energy I put him back in and figured he was adjusting or sunthing etc , , he did use “boosts” of energy to glide around the tank but he did eat when I morning fed just 5% of the normal amount
Lest for work came home he was still “drunk” acting and his mate or companion what ever they’re situation was , was in there underpass completely dead upside down ?! The male from the morning was still flickering around I grabbed a acclimation box and he passed a hr or so later
Now upon inspecting All my fish in the tank I’m noticing a light coloring on my baby Koran angel fish ! No other fish show any signs of Agression towards each other
