jvega888 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I'm just just curious on how do you guys remove dead fishes in your marine tanks. I have few fishes that are missing in my tank (1 clown, damsel ans a small clown tang. I suspect that they are already dead and stucked in between or under the LRs. How can I remove these or do you guys leave it and ler the CUCs do the job? Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Supporter Harlequinmania Posted September 30, 2016 SRC Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2016 Yes it is best to remove those dead fish as if your tank is small and your bio filter is not strong enough it will cause an ammonia spike and kill all your fish or it might also cause nitrate and phosphate increase in your tankSent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote 1000 Gallon Tank in the Hole http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/topic/120957-1000-gallon-3d-hole-in-the-wall/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzrocco Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Guess yr tank parameters are off also.. Better start checking the ammonia and nitrite.. That's why the fish are starting to die.. Esp if yr clown died.. Clown fish are very hardy fish.. Quote entering into a new world reef..

Tyler Sim Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Agreed with the bros. You can use a net to grab it out or hands are fine too. If the parameters are not too good, then better shift your scape and grab them out before it escalates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvega888 Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 My ammonia and Nitrite are zero. Using API test kits. Nitrate is around 5 and phosphate 0.25.Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvega888 Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 I tried to remove the top layer of my LRs, but still can't find them. Maybe they are under the sandbed or under the rocks. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member kenyee Posted October 4, 2016 SRC Member Share Posted October 4, 2016 Depending on the fish size, sometime cant find the body as its already eaten by the other fishes n the bones are scattered around.. The best is to remove the dead fish at the fastest possible time..1 or 2 fish died might not b your tank got problem, dun b too alarm..look at the whole tank to make an accessment..cheers n happy reefing ps: "fishes are hardy in their species but don't apply to individual" Quote @ 291213 Updated video: Kenyee FOWLR http://m.youtube.com/my_videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
