Help identifying what happened

[Bamametcalf]

So I woke up today and all I fish are toast but all invertebrates are great. Can someone help me identify what disease . The royal gamma I believe came in with a parasite abs killed the rest he was flicking the sand occasionally.

Sorry for your loss. Figured I would give you a head start on getting your parameters together and posted. Everyone is going to ask for them. Also how long has the tank been running. New additions? Did you Quarantine?

All water parameters are great. I started the tank First week of March. It’s completed the cycle and slowly added fish starting with two clowns and a blood fire shrimp. Then added snail hermit crab and royal gamma weeks later when the diatoms were all over the tank and algae. So that wasn’t even two weeks ago I believe. The royal gamma was shy but noticed it would flick the sand occasionally. I left most of last week for a buisness trip and came back Friday they were ok. Yesterday the gamma was hiding in the corner and the clown over him. Went to sleep and all three passed last night

Clear white light pictures of the fish would help a lot. How did they look before dying? How did they act? Did they stop eating at all?

Params are great doesn’t say anything, we need numbers.

The two of them dead is in clear white light. One clown looked like it had white cloud on it. They stopped eating yesterday

Ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 10 and dkh 12

Were any of the fish swimming into the flow at all? Any fine white coating before dying, or large distinct white spots?

Sounds like brooklynella if looked cloudy which could be slime coat coming off. Kills quickly. Or velvet

I couldn’t tell on the clowns because they are white. The two fish I saw went into the bottom corner and wouldn’t leave unless I moved them

What about the gramma?

What about the gramma?

The gamma was mostly eaten by snails when I finally found them

Hard to tell without shots of the fish when alive.
He’s the could go off of is a full list of how they acted.

By the timetables, velvet or brook sound like likely contenders. Though without any positive ID it’s hard to say for sure. Best thing to do is fallow the tank for at least 45 days (76 being better), and qt all new fish.

Yeah I have nothing of the last few days just some from a few weeks ago. I’m not going to put anything in there until 76 days to make sure the parasites are dead. This hobby is awesome and so cruel at times
