Something must have went very wrong last night/early this morning...just about to head out and noticed my tig dead....looks like holes at the back of his fins and under his belly...not sure what it is....just in the process of doing a 50% WC and adding salt to see if it kills what ever might have killed it...I'll post some pics later....the water chem seems good, there's some very minor coverage on some of my rays ie..white film...but i've seen that before so sure that's the cause of Tig's death...:mad::mad: :confused::confused:

Well....going to see what happens while I'm for the rest of the day....

i dont think thats fighting... could it be some sort of burn?

id do a few water changes over the next week. just incase. smaller amounts. instead of big 50 + % water change.

Aw man, that sucks. At least it wasn't the plat RTG though!

It definitely looks bacterial. Salt and clean water, and hope that this cleans it up.

It looks bacterial. How does the bottom of your rays look? If it was bacterial your rays bottoms should also be showing signs. If you end up treating your tank for bacteria use either binox or nitrofurazone don't use furan-2 or bifuran as they are not ray safe.

nope...nothing to do with stingers....just got home and everyone seems to be ok....all the rays seems to be ok and swimming none stop as usual....going to do another 20-30% WC this weekend and carry on every 2-3 days to see if any nasties that may be around is removed....I've turned off my powerheads...just not getting a good feel about them and think there might be a leak of some sort...but nothing to prove it right now so not putting them on.....we will see how it goes over the next couple of days...

there's no reason to treat tank with any chems right now...all ray's bottom is normal....as well as disc...really hate treating with chem other then for the water like prime...

goodluck bro
the UVs are on right?
bacterial could be caused by bad food...

Yup..UV's on...fed them frozen shrimps the night before but the funny thing is they ALL had some and the Tig had the least amount....really odd...never had a fish die on me looking like that....
