• Confusion with the clown

  • Todd

Good evening, today I came home from work and my family members bombarded me with questions about what's happening with the Ocellaris. So, in order: On Saturday, I decided to try Red Slim in the fight against cyanobacteria. I followed the instructions and at the end replaced 25% of the water, but unfortunately, I didn't see any results... The corals didn't react to the chemicals, but the Ocellaris (which has been with me for 2 years) has been swimming only at the surface since last night. This morning, it hasn't eaten anything, and other fish have started to attack...??? In the aquarium, there are a Zebrasoma, a Damsel, a Mandarin, two Chrysiptera, and another Ocellaris. Please give me advice on what to do??? Thank you.

Let's go step by step... How to use the remover, in detail (I used it twice and it really helped a lot) turn on the skimmer for the whole air.

So: aquarium 130L removed stones, sponge filter, and used 2.5 tablespoons (measured at the edges) of remover for 100L of water removed the cup from the sponge filter and provided maximum air after 50 hours, changed 27 liters of water No changes occurred during this period(((

Did you take it away? When the remover was poured, was the pen working without a cup? It seemed to me that the remover was some kind of crazy oxygenator. Therefore, when using it, maximum aeration is needed to avoid harming the fish. After pouring, I had a full sump of foam; I thought I would have to catch it. My conclusion is that I think the fish suffered from a lack of oxygen. Although I could be wrong. Is the temperature elevated?

From the total volume, I subtracted the volume occupied by the stones. The pen worked without a cup.

And where is the logic? The remover is not to blame here. Most likely, the dazilus has come off the reels, got involved in constructions, which can easily happen with age, and the ocellaris is the main victim.

Attacks not only the dacilus but also the chryseperth.

Brianna

Like... have they also sniffed some remover? It's not about the remover here. Why are they attacking???? They are attacking silently... without explanations. P.S. Chrysipterus are also far from being angelic fish in character.

Sheila

Well, that's a philosophical question... If the fish have been living together normally for two years and then things start to change, I don't think it's due to bad weather. I'm not claiming it's because of the remover; I was asking for advice on what to do with the cichlid...

What to do??? Just wait, or give it to someone, while putting it away in the sump, only after that it definitely won't be accepted back into the aquarium.

Remove the clownfish definitely to the sump or another aquarium, and do it quickly. Red Slim is not to blame here; if he were, then first of all, Bispam would have felt bad, and then Mandarinka would have died immediately. As for the cichlid, the fact that everyone touches it is just the law; they always pick on the weak and sick. I would remove the Dascilla; this fish becomes a tyrant in the aquarium as it ages, sometimes it just takes one hit to another fish for a slow death. Also, a 100-liter aquarium is too small for such a number of territorial fish.

I have a complete mess in my aquarium. I can take it for a while for rehabilitation, and you can also come over, it's been a while since you visited. Come over.
