ive used rods food, frozen and freeze dried. never had any issues like that before. where are your nitrates, nitrites, ammonia, and phoshates at? isnt there usually a nutrient issue if you have dino? ive never had dino before but ive always kept my nutrients in check.

ive heard people say overdosing amino acids is really bad. i give my tank aminos from time to time but not on a schedule or anything. i just pick a random day once a week or once in a two week period. depending on what else i add to my tank.

Yes mine are dosed based on remarks fromtriton icp. Icp tests sent quarterly
Starting to get really frustrated.. 
Lost a N. elegans 35 cm and a A. leucosternon 20-25 cm two weeks ago and this time it's a A. achilles and a A. olivaceus showing the same signs.
If there is something poisness it doesnt show on ICP it has to be inside the fish - maybe builds up to a point were the fish breaks down and gets sick.. with sickness/blindness comes bullying from other fishes, no feeding and other problems like extra weak/cant resist parasites etc..
I'm thinking it might be something that builds up inside the fish over time.. this only affects my largest fish - the ones that have eaten the most over a long time.
Or.. something poisness inside the aquarium that kills the fish.
Any advices? Need help with this problem.
Fishes affected over a 6 years period: Z. xanthurum, A. leucosternon, A. olivaceus, N. elegans. A. achilles..

You should consider sending a water sample to AquaBiomics for DNA analysis.
aquabiomics.com
They can identify a number of known fish and/or coral pathogens based on the DNA of bacteria in the water. Here’s a report from my tank that was identified with a pathogen that kills chromis:

Thank you very much. I will use this asap.
Even if they dont find anything I will get some answers regarding if it's a problem inside the fish or external attack
I love this forum.
