New Fish dying

Epon · 26-07-2014, 09:14 AM

Guys, recently my newly added fishs will die after ~ 3 days.. tried 3 silver liao

.

My existing gars and rtc are ok all the time.

Whenever I add the new fishes.. I make sure bag was in tank for 15mins.. and slowly add water to bag.. and then release the new fish..

New fish was not attacked as it was separate by divider.

Ph was low at 6.0.
Ammonia , nitrate and nitrite are at the lowest the measurements kit can measure. Ie using those color codes.

No visible parasites.

Should I add medication?

I have 0.4% salt.

Coral chip was 6 mths.. today change to oyster shell..

Tank size is 6x2.5.x2
I change 30% water 2 times a week..

Those gars and rtc are ok.. no problem so far

tried add 3 silvers.. all die within 3 days.. no drop scales.. no rot fins..
Just lost balance like sbp problem and die..

No visible parasites

I am thinking to add medications but no idea what???

Pls help ..

Also. If its internal parasite. Or bacteria. . Should not all my other fish also affected?

Internal parasites may still be able to spread by the following ways:

1. If the other fish eats the the infected fish, or its poop

2. If the parasite is breeding in another host like snails in your tank

Bacteria on the other hand requires no host and spread more easily

Thanks for the info bro..

I will treat for internal bacteria first.. and hope it goes well from here

I think your PH too low 6.0

MIne is 7.5-8

how come yours so low.

I believe LFS water is around 7-8 too.

So fish die when PH sudden change so much.

U say u change water often. why PH still 6.0 ?

Epon · 27-07-2014, 09:05 AM

Yes.. my ph was 6.0 before. I adding more oyster shell now.. still 6.7 last night. .

Dont know why ph so low.. maybe feed a lot to my 3x gars and 4 x trevally and rtc.
I already have a compartmenr full of CC.

I read cc expires.. my cc was there around 6mths liao

About PH shock.. I release the fish by adding tank water to bag slowly over 30mins.. maybe 30 mins not enough and PH shock kill the fish

Also I noticed fish looks good 1st 24 hrs.. after then lost balance and die in next 24hrs

Maybe is due to PH shock.... But just to share, my water ph level is stable between 6.0-6.4, but according to C328 auntie, that is very good level for fishes. So far I have no problem adding any new fish into my tank. I conditioned them only around 30mins everytime.
