I’ve recently purchased a yellow coris wrasse from marine collectors and followed their acclamation protocol and noticed that the fish was floating upside down and not moving much but I figured it was just stressed from shipping so I put it in my tank with my other fish which are all either from marine collectors or quarantined by me with copper and prazi. When I added it to the tank it sank right to the bottom and started floating upside down and pretty much stayed like that until the next morning when I found it dead.
They were nice enough to send me another one and I figured I might as well get a midas blenny too. I put both of them in the tank the wrasse quickly buried itself in the sand and the blenny hid in the rocks. The blenny is still hiding because my tomini tang has been going after it but it comes out to eat and seems to be doing fine. The new wrasse made an appearance after a few days and is now floating upside down just like the first one. I don’t know why this keeps happening. Everything else in my tank is thriving I have acros, euphyllia, all doing well
Temp is 77
Ph 8.2
Alk 8.4
Calcium 450
Mag 1400
Nitrate 10
Phosphate .04
I do 10% weekly water changes
All my other fish are fat and happy with no signs of disease. Does anyone have any idea what’s happening? Any help would be appreciated.
