Well it doesn't look to good, IMO. I put in a piece of Nori this afternoon and everything was fine. I just got done feeding my fish now, and I have a very bad feeling. The YT would not come out and eat. Which is very unual, he is usually not the first 1 out, but he always comes out. He was just hiding in a cave. I spayed some food in there and he ate it, but what really worries me is his breathing. It looked like he was breathing very heavy. I am worried he won't make it another couple of days for me to coax him into a trap. And especially if he won't come out to eat. What could cause this out of the blue? These are the only things I can think of
#1 I ordered a bunch of snails about a month ago, I tried to not let any water get in my tank but when I was floating the bags 1 got sucked down somehow and some water defintely got out.
#2 I ordered some corals a few weeks ago and maybe I got some water in then, I doubt it since I dipped everything. So thats unlikely.
#3 My friend broke down his 150g, and has a 12 nano temporarily while he gets a 40 breeder or something like that. So he asked me to hold onto he Crocea clam since his lights in the nano can't handle it. Plus he needed to get rid of some fish so I took 2 very tiny Green Chromis. About 1" each. I netted the fish from the bag after acclimation so I don't think I got any water that way. But the clam was tricky. I didn't want it to be out of the water. So I acclimated it and floated the open bag and quickly pulled it out and put it in the tank. Not much but a little bit of the water probably got in my tank.
So is it possible that through any of these events that a disease was introduced into my tank?
