HELP!!!!!
 
oh man i m soo ****ed off.. I went to the fish store for a while and come home to find that my rotteri anemone is stuck to one of my power head...the water is all cloudy and i have like 3 dead fish.... and i just bought two clams a week ago.. Wut should I do??? i dont want my other fishes to die and i cant seem to get the anemone out of the tank...he is still stuck to the rock...should i just drag his ass out of the tank by force cuz i think he ll die n e wayz. should i get carbon??

I wasn't aware that anemones could hurt fish if dmaged. Mine didn't when it got sucked thru a pump.
If your's is still attached to a rock, it isn't dead. I'd leave it in there and do a water change and add carbon. Watch the anemone for a while to see how it reacts. My rbta got sucked thru a Tunze stream and is doing just fine since then. They're tough suckers.

ok death count is now....all of my fishes except for the clownfish which seems to be immune to toxin...damn i feel bad for those 5 chromis that i just bought yesterday too...ahhhhhhhh :evil: ....damn anemone....
well now that all the fishes are dead, I have another problem...I have only been able to find 7 bodies....still got like another 7 left in there...should I tear up the tank to find the body or just hope that any thing that is alive in there will eat it up...such as lobster and crab....aww man i m sooo ****ed off now.....but the good new is that that damn damsel the devil of the sea is also dead

Bummer man, well the good news is you get a chance to have a fresh start, and at least you don't have to worry about disease that may hang around. So, what killed the fish, anemone toxin or ammonia from the anemone dying. If it's ammonia don't add more fish until the ammonia levels are down, either way I'd do alot of water changes to get things under control.

hows your corals doing?
especially em pink mille!!! =o)
give me a frag dood
heheheheheh
crapy sorry to hear 'bout you loss
hope ev'rything turns out okay

Namscam 02-29-2004 03:03 AM

I think it was the toxin because the anemone is still alive...I cant even get him off the rock that hes on so I assume hes still alive....at least now my water isnt cloudy anymore...my corals are doin no so bad...some are closed up and some are releasing toxins of their own but they all seem to be alive, but I wont know til a few days later.. I m just gonna put some of my corals in my friends tank....yeah if it survives and grows i ll frag u a piece jesse...at the moment its still small but bigger than when i got it

Namscam if you need a tank to put them in I've got a couple spares laying around and I've got my 26 you can toss a few into.

Thanks for the offer Doug but I have already moved them to my friends tank...He lives like 5 min away from me so it wasnt that much trouble...well I guess you were right bout one thing, I can get a fresh start and get bigger fishes

Slow down a bit... your tank is only three months old. You've got all the time in the world to add more livestock.
