AH Help, fish dead, others dying

[vorlx]

Sorry to hear about your losses. I am generaly upset when anything dies. My beloved decorator crab died the other day and that alone was painful. He was a cheap little guy to. =(

I couldn't even imagine if I lost my entire fish stock in a few days. =(

Sorry to hear it, Mandy.

At least it wasn't something that effected the coral, too.

Good luck!

Sorry to hear that. Good luck with everything.

Thanks all, and yes you're right damon, corals and clam are doing fine. it would take a lot more than loss of livestock to turn me away from the hobby. I'd pretty much have to be homeless and even then I would probably try to tote around something. I stopped in my LFS to let them know what happened so they would be aware that there could be others that were sick and that the same thing could happen to someone else, and they were flabberghasted. It was the first time I left without anything but a big net to help catch the wrasse and some food.

Hi Mandy, sorry for your lose. Any idea what caused this to happen?

 

[BadRoma1]

sorry about it, i know how upsetting it is. been there. but on the second note, don't fresh water dip, because fish skin parasites don't die that fast and mostlikely the time that's needed to kill parasite probably would stress out the animal to death or kill it too.

Hi Mandy, sorry for your lose. Any idea what caused this to happen?

I'm guessing when I stupidly didn't QT an anthias I got right before Christmas when I wouldn't be at my place for 2 days in order to monitor levels in QT; when I should have just let it stay at the LFS until I was able to get back there. it died and then I'm guessing that is what passed it on. I've learned my no QT lesson. All it took was 1 fish. I still am not sure whether it was brook or velvet as the fish displayed symptoms of both.
