Over the past 2 weeks, I've had 3 fish die and now another fish doesn't look great. See photos of clown fish. It seems to have some white/grey spots that I didn't see until today. It also seems more stressed than usual -- hiding a lot, and then swimming erratically.
The other deaths:
* Cleaner wrasse -- had seemed healthy until I found it dead one day (had been in tank about 4 months).
* Royal gramma -- had been healthy/growing in tank for over a year, and then over the course of a week it became more lethargic, lost its color, and hid all the time.
* Clown fish -- seemed totally fine until dead two days ago. Had been in tank for nearly 9 years. Even when dead, it looked totally healthy -- no spots/discoloration/wounds.
Because these deaths all seemed different and had visible fungus/illness, I thought perhaps it was just bad luck. But now the other clown looks a bit sick.
My water parameters are good (salinity, ammonia, nitrates, calcium, alkalinity, magnesium)
Any thoughts on what this is, or anyway to prevent further deaths?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
