Dead anthias in QT

[itz frank]

Lost 4 of the 4 resplendents that made it. All similar looking after dead.

This last one had heavy breathing and was hiding for a day before being blown around the tank. One had white stringy poo. They all at once on the first day. Here's a photo of the last dead one.

Any ideas on cause? Gills look red in photo. Belly was swollen and floated upside down.

Could have been velvet or a host of other things. Possibly also a combination of different things. Hard to say based on a dead fish.

I would bleach the whole QT and everything that got in contact with those fish and then dry it for at least a week to make sure that whatever it was is dead and gone.
