90g tank - well cycled and moved from one location to another last Tuesday. I say well cycled because I used the same water when we moved the tank. Two bigger clownfish guessing about 10yrs old from what the LFS told me and they loved their RBTA.
From Tuesday up until yesterday around 1pm the fish and RBTA were super healthy, swimming around, doing their little territory thing (don't come near my anemome). Strong swimming, eating, no signs at all that something was up.
For some reason yesterday around 11 my RBTA decided to go hide and disappeared into my reef so the clowns stayed out and were just swimming around and hanging out. Around 2 I had to go downstairs (I was in front of my tank all day) for about 30 min. I come back up and my male is dead, laying at the bottom in the front of the tank. No marks, nothing. At the same time the female is swimming almost vertical and bobbing up to the service but barely able to swim, very weak. The only time she would swim horizontal is if the current was pushing her and she really had to dedicate herself. Needless to say I pulled her from the tank and put her in a more shallow container with tank water but she died shortly after :sad2:
Her body was also in perfect shape, no marks, bites, nothing. I have no idea what happened.
Tested the crap out of my tank water, everything was perfect except the ph was a little low at 7.8. All my other fish, corals, etc were all fine, still fine, etc. Great extension on them as well.
Thoughts?
