Fish dying

[Lineman86]

Need some help. I've had 2 clown fish 3 blue chromis and 1 goby die in the past 10 days. My corals cleaner shrimp and hermit crabs
are all doing fine. I tested the water and nothing is out of the ordinary. The PH is about 8.0 and salinity is 1.025. Any ideas?

Did you get a picture of them?

No I didn't. None of them looked sick but once they started acting sick it was within a day they dyed.

Any tests for ammonia, nitrites?

Major temp swings?

How did they look sick? White fuzzy spots? Or just lethargic?

How long the tank is running? How long did you have the fish?

The water test were good. The ammonia and nitrites were fine. They started to lethargic, not eating and hiding in the rocks.

The tank is about 6 months and I had the clown fish for about 4 months and the chromis's for bout 3 weeks.

Is there any fish survives? Do you have coral in the tank? Any chance any chemical get in the tank?

 

[Chris A.]

His inverts survived so I’d have to say it’s disease related to fish

 

[Lineman86]

The coral skunk shrimp and hermit crabs all seem to be doing fine.

My bets on velvet.

 

[Lineman86]

What are the symptons and why do you think the inverts are doing ok?

 

[Lineman86]

If it is velvet how long will it survive in the tank, and how should I treat it.

The rate at which the fish died is the reason I suspect velvet.

Because the invertebrates are not affected by velvet.
