Loosing fish HELP

[Jason McK]

I haven't been able to come up with a reason. But it started about 2 weeks ago when I lost 1 Chromis and a Bicoloured Blenny, Now I seem to be loosing a fish a day. This morning I lost my Watanabe Angel, Yesterday was another Chromis, before that was a christmas wrasse, before that leaopard wrasse. I've tested everything and my Ammonia is 0.01, Nitrite 0.0 Nitrate 0.0. I have seen some invert deaths but for the most parts they are OK. I did set up a frag tank recently. Also the bodies show no sign of attack, the evening before they fed well and acted normally. no new fish have been introduced for months

Any suggestions would be great.

what are your ph alk levels.

I assume you QTd all new inhabitants before adding anything WET to your main tank?

Have you checked for stray voltage?
Has anyone sprayed anything near your tank that could be toxic?
I know last year we had a flea problem so I sprayed parts of the house but closed the door to the fish room but it managed to get in anyways. I lost 2 shrimp! It was a weird thing to see, they were swimming backwards at crazy speeds through the tank and throwing themselves out of the tank and onto the floor, I put them back in but they died anyways.
Just my experience
Other than that, maybe you have a mantis shrimp that hitched in with live rock and he finally got be enough to be a predator?
I'm shooting in the dark here but who knows...

No I did not. But all fish have been in the tank for 6+ months. No new additions.

I don't think anything was used out of the ordinary. I have a rather large fishroom that very little none aquarium products are allowed in.
I do have a grounding probe.
I do have a mantis in there but there is no sign of attack when I have found the fish


I was able to test the O2 levels and they are at 15 so fine. I did a 40G water change today and will do another tomorrow. I'm running ChemiPure just in case something is in the water.

Thanks for you help all
