Sad case.. for ur mystery.

At least I know why all my fish die. Could be one of your reason.

- add sand to create DSB

- add marincure to fight whitespot, overdose

- stop pump and restructure LR

I did all this within a week.. stupid mistake.

Tank 4x2x2.5

Probably not enough dissolved oxygen....your pH tells it all. Too much bioload will lead to increased CO2 levels in your water...if not enough water surface agitation for gaseous exchange to occur your fishes will suffocate.

Always something more important than fish.

What colour was your anemone? What kind of anemone?

hi...

my coral beauty, scooter blenny, two three stripe damsel, one blue tang and a boxing shrimp die yesterday when i add an anemone... is it the anemone 'fault' or was my system starting to crash...

Hi,

you mean to say that the tank crashed after the anemone died or just because the anemone was added into the community ?

I've been thinking about this subject about fish dying in our tanks days after we bot them. It seems that many of us seem to pinpoint the cause at water parameters (which probably is). But I think that there are other factors which may be the cause too.

One reason could be that the fish that we bot are already in a bad shape. Fishes caught in the wild are sometimes done with chemicals to stun them before collecting. Add in the stress of packing and shipping them to our LFS, by the time they arrived, they are already in bad shape. Also I have seen the way some lfs house their livestock, simply pathetic.

Being able to choose a healthy fish would greatly reduce the risk of it dying in your tank. When I started my hobby, I cycled my tank for about 2 mths till the parameters are right, slowly add in live stock, do regular housekeeping but still have fish dying on me. Couldn't figure out why till i started getting my livestock from a better known lfs. And all the deaths stopped.

The important factors to a healthy tank in my opinion would be-

- water parameters (PH, salinity, bio filtration, etc)

- buy healthy fishes

- Get the right compatibilty of fishes

- regular checking of parameters

- good diet

- proper knowledge

Just my 2c worth.

Cheers :)

Agree with U dlareg. Its not always the water (tho most times it probably IS), its just easier 2 "blame" the water esp when we can't figure out whats wrong ... why ... how ... I'm guilty of that too. But I think there R a lot of factors involved & its good that we learn 2 "investigate" further B4 we jump 2 conclusions.

Good points noted.

      FOC Coral Bandid Shrimp

      Hi, I'd need to give away my CBS named Shadow. He's a decent sized guy, been with me for a few months, a darling of a shrimp. But he's started attacking my small fish, fish have gone missing through the months, few have died the past week. Unsure him or anything else. My current fish are all healthy. Free of charge. Just promise to take good care of him. Please quarantine him first, or put him in a fishless setup for a few weeks. Self collect at Indus road. Cheers.
