SRC Member Indeco Posted September 21, 2019 SRC Member Share Posted September 21, 2019 Just curious wanted to ask what u guys think of fish sudden dead. I brought a bellus angel 3 weeks ago and was doing fine in QT but yesterday night suddenly stop eating and die today morning. No physical symptom found. Did a fresh water dip and no fluke found. Only symptom shown is swimming against the flow ytd night. I can only suspect velvet or cyanide. What u guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Otaku Reefer Posted September 21, 2019 SRC Member Share Posted September 21, 2019 swimming against flow? u mean against power head? likely velvet, my clown got it b4 and died that time also swimming against power head and i didnt know the reason tat time, now i know is for oxygenation since the gills are overwhelm, at least for mine it shows the powdery symptom.

SRC Member Otaku Reefer Posted September 21, 2019 SRC Member Share Posted September 21, 2019 sorry didnt read carefully, it seems unlikely velvet will show up only after 3 weeks, did u add new fish to quarantine?Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 1 powder black tang also like that.I read on oversea forum pple said if the LFS got use copper in their tank. Velvet maybe suppressed for the time being and come into live weeks or mths later.Just sianz I need to sterilize my tank and restart the cycle.
