[doraemon]

Yesterday 1 clown died with white spots/fungus...this morning another clown developed white spot on its body...any immediate remedy for the fish? So worry by the time go home fish already die.... (water condition is ok)
Thanks in advance!

Btw, do lobster eat up clown fish? or eat dead fish?

when u mentioned water condition is ok?? what are the parameters? how long have u cycled the tank before adding in the livestock?

Chances are, the fishes are stressed out, could be due to lobster preying on them, water conditions are not optimal, too much bio-load, tank not matured properly.

If it is not all of the above, try feeding them with food added with garlic juices. the white spots should go away in a couple of days.

For the dead fishes, pls scoop them up. u dun want the tank to have an outbreak.

Cant remember what are the parameters but tested according to the test kit shown ok in acceptable condition b4 added in livestock. Tested twice a week on the water..shown matured ..
(used bacteria to speed up the cycling process as well & live rock)

- already remove the dead fish upon detection & quarantine the lobster.
- did not feed much, only 6 fishes , 1 lobster, 1 live rock (cured) could not be high bioload...
- could be due to stress by the lobster previously, i will try the garlic thing ..hopes this will helps...

Thanks for your advice n help.

may i know how long u cycled your tank before u added the first livestock?
It is not the number of fishes u have inside the tank? It is the size of the fishes u have. I assume u have at least 3ft and all clowns.. if u have tangs, they produce lots of waste and equivalent to almost 3 clowns.

For instance, i have a yellow and Purple tang inside my 4ft and a Hippo aka Blue tang aka Regal tang.... dun forget, tangs need lots of room to swim...

mind telling me what fishes u have? and how big is your tank... perhaps my questions will give u a clue where u might have went wrong.
