Bad food / clownfish die

[idan555]

Hello,
3 days ago I feed my tank with shrimp (frozen food)
I notice it was smell bad but I didn't give too much attention for that.
day after the clowns hanging on the sand and don't move much.
Yesturday they did the same thing, didn't want to eat and few hours later die.
Water parameter are:
Ph7.8
Nit 0
Nic 0
Amo 0
Calcium 450
Pho almost 0
Kh 11
And this what they are almost all the time, I add air hose to make sure it was not air problem but it didn't help.
I didn't notice any diffrent in their color or anything else.

Is it possible for fish to get food poison?




Idan.

I can't be sure the food was the problem, but yes, it's possible for spoiled or contaminated food to kill your fish. If it smells bad, don't use it.

Hmm... Interesting but not enough data points.

You have to define bad because all fish food smells bad to me.

OP, I'm really sorry for your loss. Clown fish are generally really hardy fish. Totally sux.

Sorry to hear of your loss. If you have had the clowns for some time with no problems and then feed and they die, yup, likely the food.
If they are new to your tank then could be many things.

Fair enough. To me, good fish food smells like a combination of the ocean, fresh shellfish, and vitamin pills.
