We upgraded from a 10 gal to a 25 about 2 weeks ago with a true perc, red star, 3 nudibranches, 1 tiger goby, snails and blue hermits, a toadstolo leather, and some loose mushrooms. last weekend we got some lr and ls. put the lr on the side to cure, and put the ls in the tank since it was from an established aquarium. all was fine, all readings were zero
a couple nights ago we added a couple more loose mushrooms we got from the lfs, and put the bag in the tank to equal out the temp. we took the bag out a little while later and noticed that there was a hole in the bag, so water mixed. but we thought nothing of it.
now im not blaming the water that was from the bag, but the next day 1 of the nudibranches, about 4 crabs, and a couple snails were found dead, and the red star wasnt looking too good, the toadstool leather is turning green, and the mushrooms new and old are getting white stuff on them and closing up. we did tests and everything was good only thing was the calcium level was a little high, 490, but alk was good
any ideas of what it might be? should we set up a QT tank for everything thats left? should we put em in our 60 gal or is that a bad idea?
please help!!
