Well, 1 of my 3 green chromis died. He was fine yesterday when I added some koralias. He ate yesterday and was lively.
This morning he was acting sick, sitting on the bottom, breathing hard. There were no visible deformations - spots or discolorations. I immediately did a water test. Everything was fine except pH was about 7.8.
I immediately did a 25% water change. Retested pH after about an hour and it was still about the same.
I don't know if this is the issue. I have always had trouble with my pH. I just can't keep it up. I have lots of water movement, good filtration, lots of surface agitation, and do weekly 25% water changes.
Any thoughts? Do you feel pH was the issue?
If I can't keep fish, I'll definitely never be able to keep corals.
