[sjsheng]

My Naso Tang Die today.. i bought it together with fake yellow tang... but yellow tang is super active... but naso keep hiding...

and die this morning....

my water parameter is ok...

0 ammonia

0 nitrite

20 nitrate

ph 8.0

dont think this will kill the fish right???

any idea?

You must post a pic to show the condition of the fish......no one can tell without seeing.......everyone can presume what cause the fish to die but it is no help.

ok... i already throw away the fish ...

there is no damage on the body...

if it is ich.. i will see the whole body full with ich...

izzit true that not 100% a fish will survive in the tank...

it depend on your luck too ???

Not pic of the dead fish but while it is still alive

You can always tell when the fish is "not going to make"...like colour, if you observe the fish in your tank, you can tell by breathing rate, swimming pattern etc....

It also depend on whether the fish you buy is heathy

Fishes can be injuried during handling

Can it take the stress in your tank? .......The water in your tank can sometime cause shock to new fishes so it is always good to aclimatise.

When it die the ich parasite should be gone too.... Finding another host in the tank so there should be no way you should see a tang body cover withy ich when it is already dead.....

does it feed well.. thats why this is the prob. of getting a healthy specimen .. its always difficult sometimes internally its sick but we can't see and seems healthy and later it die with no reason at all

so sad..
