hey what are your water parameter like...............

[oshkosh]

Did you observe any aggressive behaviour from your other inhabitants? Damsels tend to bully other fishes. The same can be said of the tomato clown.

[Dazza]

Well hearsay white shit= cynide poisoning.....

Maybe u shd buy from another lfs.

[Tanzy]

This is my Nemo. He doesn't eat and doesn't defecate. He doesn't need water change and never dies. Best of all, he looks stupid.

[metals99]

your tank water condition still not suitable.. anyway.. 2 months i think it is still new.. and is there liverocks in?? also.. i suggest u live it be.. and when it reaches 1 month add some liverocks.. also wats your filtration like?? is there DSB?? i also recommend u to put in to your filter system chemi-pure.. the big unit.. it make your water condition stable..

IMO.. white shit doesn't mean cyanide poisoning leh.. i got a clown.. first all white feaces.. then i feed with flakes only then turn out be brown and in my tank for 1 month.. healthy and its a maroon.. eats like a pig.. i also never test my water but i sure do it with alot of time..

[SpiderOne]

if cyanide 100% die.. the fish industry is really going to the drain

[yellow.tang]

i think they kana bully by the tomato crown & african crown

Yes those orange one

My tank hv 35 kg LR and a 4" tick "0' live sand ( took the sand from the beach )

[IcecruncherZ]

Live Sand from the Beach? I think thats where you went wrong.

Never take sand from the beach, cause:

1. It contains lots of parasites and harmful organisms.

2. Contains lots of harmful substances and chemicals such as metals etc...

Cant remember, maybe the other members know of other problems associated with beach sand.

Suggest you remove the sand imme and do a complete water change...

[Clownfish]

shldnt save money that way...

cos grade #0 sand cost u the most $10/10kg wat....

wat IcecruncherZ said is true....

can u imagine oso the amt of rubbish pple throw into the sea?

ever seen foam on the beach?

it's the same principle behind y we use protein skimmer....

harmful n toxic substances r supposed to be skimmed onto the beach.....

do it once, do it gd..... hav a gd setup to prevent more money spent in the future....

His other fish are OK...it should not be because of the sand. It's most likely cyanide poisoning. Buy from another LFS. Do not buy 2 nemos in one bag. Do not use netting to transfer them. Do not take nemo out of water ever. Hope this helps.

[IcecruncherZ]

Really, though it might not be because of Beach sand, I really dont think that its due to Cyanide poisoning. Cyanine death does not always happen immediately. It can be weeks or months before the fish dies.

Then again, it will be good to change LFS if it continues.

Clownfish> I dont think he used Beach Sand to save $. I was once also advised to get Beach Sand cos its 'live' and will aid cycling.

[Razo]

a 4" tick

i think the BIG 4" tick is the culprit

seriously.. i think some addingwater parameter here will helps..

So far my LS is ok .. The sand i took are form the part of the beach when the tide is the lowerst .. No those near to alot ppl one ..

Since the day i cycle tank .. the sand doing very .. Those goodies came with the sand ( hermit crab, crab, snail, sea worm etc ) are doing very well .. My other fish are also doing well .. Touch wood no death cause by water condition,sand or LR .

the only thing dying are those NEMO ...

I just bought anothor 2 pcs from another FS .. 2 day in tank now .. hope it dont die again

[metals99]

neptune.. i there is so many factors.. to clownfishes death.. u know.. ph level.. unsiutable water condition etc.

i reccomend u to add chemi-pure in your tank .. i will do wonders.. alot of people have success using it..

it worth to buy and only cost $9.90 for small unit and i think $15.90 for the big one..

use this.. dun add anymore fish they will sure die.. put chemi-pure in and let it run for 2 weeks..

[metals99]

u know i think sgreefclub forumers won't be happy to hear that all your clownfishes u bought dead k..

[junyong84]

yeah...

i m already not happy..

clowns are always my fav...

[SpiderOne]

Stop saying Nemo.

yeah ... what does chemi-pure does to the tank

[doom]

Chemi-pure can 'helps' to absorb the 'harmful' elements from tank (water), thus, its states that no "water change" for five (5) years, but require regular change of new pax after six (6) months usage.
