Question?

[Apenagos33]

I try to keep them closed the best I can but this whole house has windows everywhere lol

 

[Dahni]

I sure hope he gets better soon

No products, I don't use lotion, and I did a water change yesterday and tested for ammonia today cane back as zero with the Red Sea test kit once before and after both zero

Are you testing with strips or drops? There are many things that a test kit doesn't check. I'm assuming you dont have a QT setup? If you do he needs to be in there ASAP if not, the only small chance he has is if you do a water change, just as a safety measure.

Any windex being sprayed anywhere near? My new 10g is in the living room and I told the wife absolutely NO chemicals in that area of the room. A little bit of cleaner can bomb your tank.

 

[Reef Ryder]

What size tank and how many fish?

For sure..plus air freshener also

Plug ins are fine LOL, no sprays what so ever. Even spraying paper towel with windex in a differently room and cleaning your tank is no good. It can actually penetrate your tank and throw off your parameters and Ben undetected!

Nothing like that, and it's only the one fish acting strange the others are normal and have been in there for much longer

That's right...lol...guess I should have been more specific

 

[Apenagos33]

It's a 29 gallon, two green chromis, 2 bangai cardinal, two clowns

If I had to guess, although very hardy, your tank size can't handle the bio load. Doesn't seem like you have the best filtering system (just guessing) and your ammonia may be going up. Do a water change ASAP. Dose with special blend and nite out II.

 

[Dahni]

I believe in water changes and it definitely should be done soon as your able and also quarantine him in case he has Brooklynella. ...a clown fish parisiete in the gills, that can spread throughout your tank

Also, seems like your tank is in direct sunlight, that's not good for if and when you add corals so try and keep the blinds closed amap.

corals like sun.

 

[Reef Ryder]

Yea they do, that's how most of them by absorbing sunlight to convert to sugar molecules (photosynthesis) but most corals are not at the surface of the ocean and do not do well in direct sunlight like that, especially in addition to LED's. Ever hear of bleaching corals?

Agreed!

Should I leave the fish in there?

 

[Reef Ryder]

Should I leave the fish in there?

Honestly, I would say yes but do a water change ASAP and if he's alive tomorrow ask your LFS about filter. Don't forget the special blend and nite out II. I honestly cannot stress the water change enough. I would 12 gallons. Nite out II will reduce ammonia and nitrites, special blend is good bacteria that is essential for smaller tanks to help keep water nice and healthy. You have a small hang on back (HOB) filter?

 

[Dahni]

I always quritine

 

[Dahni]

Sorry...hit wrong button....
I always quarantine sick fish and not leave my tank to chance
