Just curious wanted to ask what u guys think of fish sudden dead.

 

I brought a bellus angel 3 weeks ago and was doing fine in QT but yesterday night suddenly stop eating and die today morning.

 

No physical symptom found.

 

Did a fresh water dip and no fluke found.

 

Only symptom shown is swimming against the flow ytd night.

 

I can only suspect velvet or cyanide.

 

What u guys think?

sorry didnt read carefully, it seems unlikely velvet will show up only after 3 weeks, did u add new fish to quarantine?

U maybe right cause this is not the 1st time I saw fish behave like that and die in a short time. I got 1 powder black tang also like that.

I read on oversea forum pple said if the LFS got use copper in their tank. Velvet maybe suppressed for the time being and come into live weeks or mths later.

Just sianz I need to sterilize my tank and restart the cycle.

Sorry for ur loss bro, things just die sometimes without any explanation, we can only follow the best practice and hope for the best.
