My fish are dead

[Jon Fishman]

There is a torch at my lfs that is not looking good so it’s 25$ do you think it would have a chance of living

The tentacles are down

Has a good chance, if it stays at the lfs

 

[40g Nano]

Lol I’ll just take the fish store home

 

[Fatjim]

All at the same night though?

Yes, hence the thread. I'm only on page 8 of reading and I think I'm done now. Sorry your fish expired. I am going to purchase a set of long gloves before I put my own hands back in my tank. Sometimes what we do trying to make things better only exacerbates the problem. I hope you stick with the hobby and figure out how to enjoy keeping the fish we all love.

One other thing; your Sailfin looked sickly and skinny. Be careful to select specimens that are not weak and pass on putting any new fish in that tank until after Christmas. In the time between now and then read, read, read, or watch videos from the sites vendors on reefing topics, or ask questions and listen carefully for the answers. You can do better and you can succeed.

The dead are not coming back unless you bring more of them.

I don’t think a disease wipes a tank in 6 hours

 

[40g Nano]

Is there any possible way that my palythoas released palytoxin

 

[40g Nano]

And killed them

I think we all need to recognize that OP is in high school and probably bored. Sometimes people will reach out to others with exaggerated issues to try to feel as part of a group. They will keep reiterating the same information or throwing out small bits of info in the interests of engaging an audience. This is almost certainly why this conversation has kept going. To OP. I would strongly urge you to read and research. R2R is a wealth of information. You can make genuine connections on here, people will surely welcome you without the need for any crisis. But - This is not a hobby that will provide you with instant gratification. It will take YEARS. Those display tanks at the lfs took years. You can't just bring home stuff willynilly expecting it to live, that is cruel. And as someone else pointed out #FishLivesMatter

Couldn't have been said better

 

[40g Nano]

That was a joke by the way and the reason I’m going off on the palytoxin is because my dad strongly believes it is that

 

[Fatjim]

It's a good thing to believe in to keep yourself safe while handling or cleaning zoas but the amount of zoas you have it couldn't have killed them

 

[Anihiel1]

And killed them

this has already been addressed in this thread.
No.
tell your father that there are only about 3 species of palys which might be lethal to humans, and they're not being sold at your local fish store. In addition, unless you have 30,000 zoas in a 14g, there's insufficient quantity to affect any fish.

 

[40g Nano]

I have 6 small patches of them

 

[40g Nano]

Ok thank you

 

[Fatjim]

...Go be bored somewhere else I'm dying faster then your fish

 

[40g Nano]

What are the three species of them

 

[Fatjim]

I think mass suicide of the fish should be put back on the table;Facepalm

 

[40g Nano]

Should I just do a water change and forget this

 

[Cell]

I wish I could just do a water change and forget this, but no. Follow the pile of advice already given. Go fallow, during that time research and learn, then after fallow, try again and take it slow.

Don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions or concerns at that time. For now though, it seems everything has been addressed as well as it can be.
