Well, he was not doing that. Anyone move sudden or turn on or off a light in the room ? Hubby have odd colored or bright colored shirt on ? Some fish do get "heat attacks" and often die quickly.I once lost a pygmy angle that way. Lights on, put in some food, he eat it and..... bam, went into convulsions and was dead in sec's. _________ Boomer Want to Talk Chemistry ! The Reef Chemistry Forum

Sometimes the stress get's to them and they just so happen to lose their cool. Think of it, if you were trapped in a box, your anxiety would drive you to insanity and possibly suicide. Was it a farm raised clown or wild caught?

no gound probe. i think it was his process of dying. ya i do have an ammonia spike, that's the fish that's not doing well. this morning we thought he was dead so my hubby went to fish him out and he went into a hole in my LR. god if he dies in there it should be really fun trying to get him out without distroying the beautiful rock. i guess i'll have to remove the rock. i'm picking up a 5g tank tonight for a qt tank. my question about that is, doesn't it have to cycle as well...same rules for qt sw tank as a display tank. being smaller will it cycle faster. want this tank for hospital and qt for new fish in the future. god i'm really frustrated now. | |

But you can use your main tanks water to cycle it asap. You also need to run a dedicated filter for it and seed it with bacteria. | |
