Hi- This morning my Lawnmower Blenny came barreling out of the rocks it was really weird. He was literally doing barrel rolls. I watched him for a second to see if it was just something weird or what but then he went upside down. I immediately got him out the tank. I put him in to a bucket with a drip acclimator going to observe him while I dedcided what to do. This is when I noticed a white cloud substance coming out of where he poops. He just kept going upside down also. It didn’t take long and I’d say within an hour he had died. He looks totally healthy on the outside, his belly is huge but it has been from day 1 And my LFS said he is just a pig and many Lawn mower Blenny stomachs look like that when they over eat. I QT‘ed him with 2 clowns prior to putting them in to the tank. They all seemed good,, healthy and ate a ton so after about 45 days of QT they went in to DT. They have been in there for almost 2 months. All water parameters are in the suggested ranges, temp, salinity, ph, etc all good. The other fish seem fine. Again on the outside he looks fine, really good colorading, no spots, skin sloughing, etc....Could he have died from like constipation or something and I should have done an epsom salt batH? I can’t find any information on what I saw today In regards to the white cloudy stuff coming out of him. How does one determine how a fish died when they look ok? What else could I be looking for? Thanks for any help or suggestions.
