I am very concerned. My two week old post metamorphosis juveniles are slowly dying.
One every day for the past couple of days after a long break with no deaths. Three dead this morning in one corner of the tank. Usually once they get their first band, they are pretty hardy. I have not had deaths after the first band in previous hatches.
The dead ones are not the smallest, all had 2 bands and were orange. All look like they had been eating fine. They look perfect. My ammonia is non existent. I cannot figure this one out.
The living fish in this tank are all acting normally.
I have recently stopped feeding the rotifers in the tank and briefly ran a seasoned sponge filter to help clear them out. I have been adding system water at a slow trickle to bring the volume up in preparation for putting them on the system. Before Otohime arrived, I fed them NHBS and formula one and dried cyclopeze through an organza filter so they only saw the tiniest chunks. I have been feeding them Otohime A for the past couple of days in addition to NHBS that they have been getting since day 6. Yesterday I quit the NHBS.
Anybody have a clue why this is happening?
