    So its been a sad week. First the loss of my kole tang, I dont think he was eating well and looked extremely skinny the night before his death. Got him out as soon as noticed him dead.
    Two days later, my little pearly jawfish was sucked up into my p/h.
    Next day, yellow tang- dead- I find him to be the saddest because he was my first fish ever and I had him since my tank cycled.
    Nexy day, my brand new wrasse was dead. Can't tell you exactly what kind but looked sorta like a lunar or moon wrasse- I think.

    So I went to my LFS to figure what the hell was going on with my tank. I was thinking my params were going to be way off even though I do frequent regular water changes but haven't done one since the mass deaths. But... all my params came out perfect. My ammonia wasn't even high.
    The only thing they could think of was somesort of internal parasite that spread between the fish since there was no predators in my tank that might be killing them all off.

    So RIP to
    My treasured yellow tang
    Kole tang
    My animated jawfish- he was so cute
    Wrasse- whatever kind you were you were pretty cool.
