How long has the tank been setup? What test kits are you using?

When you say everything is on point what are your parameters? We will need a little more info.

I did look and I see you are running a red Sea 250 and you started the cycle on October 19?

Let's get more eyes on it. #reefsquad

 

[EmdeReef]

Any mucus or skin peeling? Or anything unusual on the body?

 

[DeniseAndy]

Was the fish qt'd? Did you add all the fish at the same time? Any other symptoms? How are other fish?

 

[DeniseAndy]

pictures?

 

[hdsoftail1065]

Still have the fish? Pics?

 

[JoshH]

How did you cycle your tank?

 

[Juniorh2r]

Nope

 

[Crabs McJones]

Do you have any pictures of the fish? Could be a plethora of things from parameter to pathogens to physical trauma.

 

[Crabs McJones]

Nope

Pinched tummy, could be internal parasite

 

[DeniseAndy]

No obvious signs jump out at the look of the body. Could have been internal, stress, parasitic, hard to say. Keep an eye on the other fish. I worry the chromis brought something in since the WW would be captive bred and should be disease free if not mixed with wild species.

 

[Juniorh2r]

The chromi is captive bred from what I was told all the other fish seem fine is there anything I can add or do to the other fish as a precaution?

 

[DeniseAndy]

That is good to know. As long as they were not mixed with wild species in the tanks at the stores.

 

[Juniorh2r]

He was ok for like 10 days eating and swimming with no problem everything started yesterday

 

[Juniorh2r]

You think it could be the store cause I read some reviews about fish dying on customers

 

[Juniorh2r]

This is now
