Blenny!

My lights are off and my blenny looks really stressed I jsut added him into the tank yesterday. He is like "panting" his gils are moving really fast he is just chillin on a rock is he going to be okay? This is the first time I have seen him doing this

 

stressed out from the move, should be OK. Mine was doing it yesterday I just put him in my newer tank

 

nope nope he was not okay woke up this morning and he was dead :/ im frustrated I have tried three times to add fish and they died idk whats wrong my prams are all fine.

 

how are you acclimating the fish?

 

Sorry to hear that. If you tried 3 times and they die, then it's either your tank, or it's the LFS is selling you bad fish. There is a place here in myrtle beach that gets new fish in on thurs. and do everything they can to get rid of them by mon. They don't take care of the fish they get in.

 

I leave them in the bag they give me, I float them for about half an hour, then add some of my tank water in theirs every 5 minutes or so about twice.. then I put them in the tank

 

Let's go with the more traditional route:

In order to better diagnose the problem (if you would indeed like some assistance in doing so) it would be very helpful to post the following:

size of Display tank
age of DT
size of Sump
type of filtration (i.e. filter socks, floss, protein skimmer, etc)
temp
salinity
nitrates
ammonia
pH
Other inhabitants (fish, inverts, corals)
CUC?
Maintenance? (how much/how often with water changes)
Lighting?
Water flow?
Substrate?

These will help us to get a better idea of what might be causing this chronic death in your tank.

 

every 5 min how many times? Also I found that having the lights off for the day (or add in the evening when lights are off) works the best.

Have you checked the salinity of the water from the lfs to yours?
Hope that helps

 

I actually got this guy from a place I had never been. I have a 14 gal bio cube. I will try adding them at night.

 

what kind of blenny is it? also while acclimating i just float the bag, it stresses the fish even more to be in that bag with very little oxygen.
