I have lost 6 fish and have two more about to go this morning. Cleaner shrimp, CUC, and corals are all fine. I’ve posted in a Facebook Group and received diagnosis for every single fish disease in existence, stray electrical currents, ammonia, you name it. I went to my LFS and showed them the pictures that are attached and they ruled out all the diagnoses that were given and they were clueless.
The only thing I can think of is that the night before this disaster happened I was working with some tools and I dipped my dirty hand in the tank to catch a falling feeder lid. I suppose I had a contaminate on my hand, maybe residual WD40? I did a 20% water change and I’m on the second round of charcoal. Two fish seem unaffected. Two are retreating in a corner.
Fish are all quarantined and medicated and I haven’t added any in about a month. Parameters are:
Ph 8.12
Alk 9.5
Ca 481
Mg 1510
N03 9.9
PO4 .06
At a loss as to what to do next.
