Fish shock/trama then dies. Has anyone had any experiance with this? I had the strangest thing happen to me last night. To make a long story somewhat shorter, I pulled all of my rocks in my tank out. During the capturing of fishes, I basically catch 1 and put it into the kid's 10gal tank which has 2 onyx clowns in it. After the 3rd anthia, I end up catching 1 of my female flames. Nothing different, she's flopping around in the net etc etc. I put her into the 10gal. she swims off, then i notice her starting to dart all over the place. Biff bamm boomm she bolts like never before. My son's like " ehhh daddy i think your flame is going nuts" i'm like eh... she looks a bit crazy and all of the other fishes are staring at her at this point. I tell my son "she just wants the attention" move on and caught the rest of my fishes. Then i notice after all the fishes are in the 10gal, there is one that is upside down and slowly breathing. I look closer and sure enough its the same flame as earlier. I was shocked... then saddened when it finally stopped breathing. I thought of administering CPR or maybe like a jolt of electricity to jump start her but I couldn't find any safe tools to do so.
Anyhow, the question of the story... has anyone ever experianced anything like that? I asked a local reefer, he said it most likley is shock which i can totally see happening. + he's a fish expert but i thought id throw it out there and see if anyone else saw this before. This was a perfectly healthy and eating fish, not shy at all and eats pretty much out of my hands. So it pains me to see that she had to die in such a wierd manner.
