Hello everyone,
Im a newbie and have just recently set up my 35 Gal QT tank after following the guidelines mentioned here.
My two pairs of clown fish are in DT after going through successful QT period of about 4-5 weeks each on separate occasions.
This time i got little excited and bought 6 fishes for QT:
1) 3 small yellow tangs
2) 2 Medium purple tangs
3) 1 medium convict tang
Now long story short:
- Bought on tuesday
-Purple tangs started eating very next day
- Convict also eating but bit shy
- Yellow tangs did not eat
- On Friday all three yellow tangs died
- Yellow tangs before dying were swimming close to the surface and later just lay on the bottom
- After one yellow tang died i though maybe its ammonia however test showed zero ammonia
- Did 25% water change and just to be on the safe side added Prime
- However later two Yellow tangs died one after the other
- There were no visible spots on them
- I had planned to treat with prazipro for two weeks and then CP but now i am confused
Can anyone please advise what happened to yellow tangs?
Today morning Purple and convict are
eating and swimming normally.
Regards
Umair
