Went scuba diving and brought back some fish...

Well, when ever you want to know where to collect something, let me know, I dont mind sharing my "secrets".

Well I just want to let you guys know that there will not be any pics incoming. All the fish in the 55 tank have died with the exeption of the slippery d!ck wrasse. Well just a few days after we added the puffer and the queen angelfish, I started to see the puffer develop sometype of infection, looked like a nasty case of ick(nasty) little white things all over(ALL OVER) looked like his skin was falling off. I added some ick attack and maracyn but nothing...One day i added some maracyn then the next some ick attack and the next maracyn again. But this did not help they fish had stopped eating and were not swimming how they normally are. They started to stay in a single spot and not move. The clown started to swim against the current of the powerhead... Well the puffer and the small blue angelfish went out first. The next day the queen anglefish, clownfish, and yellow tail damsel died. And finally today a small glass gobie died as well.
(All the hermits/snail/and crabs are alive along with some small piecesof kenya tree)

Do not know what to do next... Some input please.

TIA

 

Wow,did you check your water parameters? Those yellow-tailed damsels are pretty hard to kill. You sure the ich is what killed them?

 

I dare to say that I think you brought something with those wild caught fish. Have you tested as IBM mentioned? Luna

 

I think too that it was something with th fish that I brought back. I have not tested param, temp is at 82°C. Let me go test them and ill post them in a bit. If it was not ich, Im pretty sure it was something from the fish I brought, because just hte weeks before(like 3) all the fish were doing fine even the glass gobie and the blue angelfish which I too brought from the wild were all in perfect conditions, stuffing their faces everyday along with the clown, damsel and wrasse.

 

Ok here are the parameter for today.

pH 7.8-8.0

Ammonia 0.5 ppm *I think this is high because I believe there are some fish still decomposing(or being eaten by the crabs and hermit) inside the tank; I can not get to them because they are inside the rockwork

nitrite 0ppm

nitrate 0-5.0 ppm

dKH 9.5

Mg 1185

Ca 390

Temp was 82

 

Well your pH is a little low, but nothing really that would kill all of them. Sounds like an infection to me, not really ich. GL with everything.
