I dosed the tank with malafix and I also have instant ocean lifeguard but don't know if I should do both
 
It's sad. I wonder I never bought him, if he'd still be alive :( he was my favorite fish.
 
Wow, I'm emotionally attached to a fish I had for 3 days!
 
We take so much care to pick them out, acclimate them take care of them it's like they are family. I totally understand.
 
all i know is, i disagree when they say don't put live rock in a QT. I think the ammonia spike played a part in his death.. So what if every now and then you sacrafice a peice of live rockcause you have to medicate.. I think it's worth the risk to save a fish.. My now found experience and $0.02
 
I've never had LR in my QT. And if the ammonia was high, why didn't you do a pwc? As long as you have some type of filtration, your good. I am sorry for your lose. It's never easy.
 
I did a water change last night.. Ammonia was .25 ppm last night.. Today it was 1+
