Please help me. My cherub suddenly stopped eating for the last 4 days and only today did it start breathing heavy. There are no exterior signs of disease.
My angelfish has been in the tank for a little over a year. It was the second last fish I introduced, right before my Janns pipefish. I cannot quarantine my fish and my angelfish is wild caught, but none of my fish have shown any signs of disease.
I feed all my fish twice a day with a mix of frozen Ocean Nutrition brine, mysis, copepods, and sometimes ON veggie flakes. I rarely add a bit of selcon, maybe once a month.
Let me provide some more background information on my tank:
2.5 year old tank, 30 gallons
Full of soft and lps corals, all thriving and healthy. Dosing AFR with weekly aminos.
Other tank mates include a Chromis, Mandarin dragonet, Janns pipefish and a Randall's goby - no new fish added recently.
UV running 24/7
Skimmer running half the day
Chaeto reactor running at night
Parameters
KH 8.5
Ca 410
Mg 1350
NO3 1 - 2 ppm
PO4 0.12 - 0.15 ppm
There have been no changes in anything. My tank has been running stable for a while now. I did add a black sun coral about a week ago. It came in with no frag plug, and I did not dip because I have had negative experiences dipping sun corals (they always die when I dip them). Also didn't see anything on it, so I just gave it a wash and added it in.
