Sick bta's

[drtrash]

I have three bta, all got sickly at same time , they appear to be getting better. I have a mix of a lot of LPS, sps and nothing looks stressed, so is there a anemone flu? All parameters are in spec, no change in lights....
Crappy part is an enferno, lemon drop, and Sherman death shakes it up

Yes and no. The "belief", in the community is that Nems can suffer from bacterial infections. Much the same as humans, they can pass these infections to each other. So can one sick Nem, get another Nem sick? The answer we "believe" is yes. Can we identify what exactly is happening? No, but typically, treatment with anti-bacterial drugs such as Cipro tend to bring sick Nems back and help them recover, so the working theory is they get sick with a bacterial infection and we treat them and cure it.

What are you feeding them and how often?

 

[drtrash]

I rarely feed them, if I do it's usually rod's food or mysis. I have only had the enferno for a few months and it seems to be finicky but other 2 have been in system for over 5 yrs. did a 10% water change to make me feel better. I have added a few fish in last months so maybe some bug came in
