Lost probably 8 fish

[Carl C]

Had 3 clowns , 3 flame angels
Lawnmower blenny, mandarin , 2 yellow tangs

They all died in the past few weeks
All I’ve got left is one yellow tang and a trigger

The plan is to transfer them to hospitals tank ; I’ve got a trap set as they’re impossible to catch and I’m not willing to dismantle my rocks and coral
So I’m waiting

Not sure what I have I’ve seen many white spots at one point on one fish
Another got a cloudy eye others have just started acting funny and suddenly died ...

Anyway if/when I catch these last two

I’ll go fallow for the max (76? Days ?)

Then I’ll become a QT crazed hobbiest

Sorry to hear you going through this, I have been there and it's a real bummer. Yes 76 days

Sorry for the losses. Hope the best for the trigger and tang. For the tang, can try a mirror and 2 nets. When its occupied defending territory from its reflection use the nets to force into one of them. Never tried to catch a trigger.

Hi all its been a couple of weeks since the big LOSS of fish !!! Anyway I was not able to catch trigger or yellow tang
Is it possible parasites are gone ?? Or are they simply resilient

The parasites are still present. Fish can build an immunity to them, but it isn't complete immunity. To eliminate the parasites you will have to treat fish and run tank fallow. Knowing what you had specifically will make treating a lot easier, but the treatment isn't that different across the board.

3 flame angels? Could stress from aggression have caused the outbreak?

If you manage to catch them & decide to use copper in your QT, I highly recommend getting the Hanna Copper Checker. It gives a digital reading, so no more guessing the color shade, which I found I had wrong.
