I find my H. Tang laying on his side dead
Everyone else in the tank is business as usual. ( 90g, 1 clown, crab, shrimp. thats all)
He was fine yesterday, been in the tank 2 weeks, QT'd for 3 weeks prior to that. I wasn't real impressed with his eating though.
Water Para. all good except PH which read 8.8, up from 8.4. Not sure when or how suddenly that happened.
Added a new skimmer a week or so ago, sifted some sand a couple days ago, I took my lids off 4 days ago.
I know Hippos are rather delicate to sudden changes, I'm assuming it was the increase in Ph.
Any ideas?
The tank has only been up and running a few months, is it possible to still get some fluctuations in water parameters?
