A sad, sad day for FishyFishy
 
:cry:

So I had a massive fish die-off in two of my tanks yesterday. Its the weirdest thing...

I have 3 small tanks right now, and I came home to find all fish dead in 2 of the tanks. All my corals and inverts are doing awesome still. Water perameters are perfect. The only thing that I can think of is that I got a bad batch of Mysis. I know its a long shot, but its the only thing that the two tanks have in common. My third tank that I feed pellets only too was totally fine and normal. I opened the package on Tuesday night, fed the BC29, and the shallow tank that night with Mysis, the BC14 with NLS pellets. Wednesday afternoon, I came home to all fish dead. Not a single one left in the two Mysis tanks...

I lost the following fish, but nothing else! Inverts are fine, corals are looking great...

1 X Maroon Gold Stripe CLown
1 X Flame Angel
1 X Kole Tang
1 X True Perc clown
1 X Tailspot Blenny
1 X Black back Butterfly
1 X Bi-color Dottyback
2 X Black Yellowline Damsels

A sad, sad day for FishyFishy... and an expensive one.

OMG thats horrible. I will cry for you, Im pretty emotional right now anyway.
That is one of the weirdest things I have ever heard. Must be frustrating too.

Sorry to hear this.
When almost all fish die suddenly in a tank it is often oxygen starvation. This can happen for a number of reasons including a combination of a tank overheating, sand bed disturbance, too many fish for the size of the tank and lack of flow near the top of your tank.
Did you observe that the fish were swimming near the top of the tank prior to leaving your home?

No, they were all perfect, and swimming normally. I have high flow, and surface aggitation in both tanks. They were all fine and thriving for more than 6 months. All my corals look fantastic still, and are all growing normally. I don't think that either of the tanks were over stocked.

My heart goes out to you for losing the fish :sad::sad:. I had lost all my fish from ich within a month too, so I totally understand how you feel right now. I am so sorry for you, Fishy.
