Hi folks,
I have the following fish below in hypo at 1.014, took 24hours from 1.020.
2 1/2" Porc puffer
2x 4" Green spotted puffer
3" Majestic Angelfish
2" Coral Beauty
2" red stripe dwarf angel
1 1/2" Clownfish marroon orange/gold
2x Lawnmower Blenny 3 "
1x 2" Dragonet madarin red+green
3" Starry Blenny
Ph 8.2
Amm 0
Nitrites 0
Nitrates 10
ph 8.2
temp 26oc
Internal filter 250gph with filter media from DT, floss and ceramic rings.
Been doing twice daily 10-15% water changes and testing the water 1-2x a day.
I was going to drop it to 1.010 today and then tomorrow 1.008-1.009 however the red stripe angelfish has passed.No bite marks, bacterial infection, never had ick only the porc has had ick.Looked vibrant and well fed.
This is the 2nd angelfish that has gone in a week, the first bicolour angel got accidently stung by the lionfish at night so 100usd gone already in a week!
All the rest of fish are fine but so was the red stripe last night eating away with no problems.
I wonder if I have done something wrong here or are they just more delicate. I have a coral beauty angel and majestic angel which I paid 180usd just for the majestic for and Iam worried they
will pass away too once i drop the salinity down to 1.009, any advice?
