After a year and and half..... my Sailfin just died as well. In a matter of a hour, she started jerking and twitching and swimming upside down. she died within minutes.

I have now lost 4 fish in 5 hours. I did notice her gills were quite red before she died.

That just sounds crazy sorry to hear about you loss. You might want to do a big water change and put a pile of carbon in. It might be something that droped in your tank or something that die that is toxic

Don't know what else to say

Good luck

No, we had a scented candle burning last night, but we do that all the time. My acrylic tank is covered on the top, so it is pretty well protected.

Last night I lost another fish..... this time it was one of the 2 blue/yellow Damsels. After seeing the aggressiveness of one of the Damsels last night, I am thinking it was a killing spree. But can a 1" Damsel kill a 4" Sailfin Tang?

This morning, I have still alive and doing well;

1 blue/yellow Damsel
1 Black/white Damsel
1 Atlantic Blue Tang
1 Tomato Clown
1 Green Chromis
1 Lawnmower Blenny

all the corals are doing fine....


???


Jim

No..... correction..

I found the other blue Damsel, but it is hiding in the rocks.

Don't know what to say Jim, other than that's quite a little disaster. Sorry about your Sailfin. That's is the 2nd one I've heard of lately...

I have a gut feeling it was a Damsel war that caused the problems. As to the Sailfin, Ross just lost his too for no apparent reason.

Very sorry to hear this Jim (and Ross, sorry to hear of your tang)

Your observation about the gills concerns me .. That doesn't sound like something a damsel could cause?? This sounds eerlily reminiscent of when I lost nearly all my fish in my ritteri tank a few months ago. One by one, they suffocated over the course of a few hours.

Anyhow, I know how discouraged you must be feeling right now. Hang in there.
