Dead Sailfin Tang, What Killed It?

[wsureefer]

Doing TTM on a sailfin tang and Sapphire Damsel, halfway through the second transfer on day 5 tang started to breath hard and skin discolored. Checked ammonia at zero did 80% water change anyways. Woke up this morning and check on it, died overnight.

Looks like a bacterial infection to me.

Should I treat the Damsel that was in the same tank with an antibiotic?

It's part of the hobby, some fish just don't make it for unknown reasons. did you treat with any meds (like Prazi-Pro) during the TTM process?

No was going to treat during the next transfer
