Hi,
I'm a little too late for this, but I could use advice on a new fish that I just purchased please. I bought a Lawnmower Blennie on Saturday. Yesterday evening the entire middle third of it's body lost it's color and turned white, and it was breathing heavily. It was dead this morning, and the middle third was now a dark blue/black color. I asked Premium Aquatics what type of disease that is and wanted to inform them of their stock quality. They didn't know what it would be. I have some live rock in the quarantine tank along with the Frogspawn I purchased"¦ what do I need to do to make sure I don't spread the illness? Will I ever be able to put the LR back in the display? How long should I wait to move the Frogspawn so it doesn't carry some of the disease on it into the display?
I drip acclimated. Used water from the display. Used live rock and sand from display. It seemed to acclimate fine. Had lots of hair algae for it to eat. Water parameters are good with nitrate around 5.
Thanks for the help.
