And Then There Were Two

TWesty · 09-10-2007, 05:42 PM

Ok so Now I am down to 2 fish in the QT. The Coral Beauty is gone. She was lying on the bottom of the tank this a.m. Still have the Pajama Cardinals and the one still has those things on her head, but now they aren't sticking out. I can still see something in her head though, which kind of worries me because if it a worm of some sort Im thinking now that it is under the skin it will be harder to treat.. Still could use some answers to save the last 2 in the QT.

Sorry that nobody has replied to your needing help. Is there any chance in getting a picture for us, hard to tell what it is without one. Unfortunately I dont know what it could be, maybe someone else can jump in here and help you out. Since you know what they look like I would start here:

Hope that helps,

Thanks for the links I will check them out. In our display tank we have a marble cat shark and he is doing fine. We had Two Yellow Tangs in there that did not do so well either. Tested the water it is fine.

By saying not doing so well... did they die??? Any visual imperfections with them? Any unnatural behavior???

Yes they did die. They did the same stuff just like swimming in the current and in circles. Also though when we got them like the next day the one had a film over one of its eyes. We have lost a lot of fish already. Most of them were seemingly healthy and eating and everything but we would wake up in the morning and have dead fish. We have not put anything in that tank again except the shark and he seems very healthy. We got a cleaner package that had huge amounts of snails and crabs after the fish all died out. One arrow crab, three starfish (only one left). So basically now the shark and snails crabs and one starfish are in the display tank. Oh and a lawnmower blenny I forget about him because he hides in the live rock I see him every once in a while. My two cardinals are in the QT tank and today the bumps outside are gone. The QT tank is 30 gallons and today I changed out 6 gallons. Water is better. One more question the guy at the fish store told me to put these type of filters in. Just float them in the water and they attract all the ammonia and copper and all the other crap you get in there. Have you heard of this? I know it is taking out the copper because it is turning blue like it said it would when the copper is absorbed. Thanks.. Gotta Run
