RIP crosshatch

[nismo_32]

well here goes to the accidents. i had a little chiller problem and funny enough all i lost was the male crosshatch and my tinkers butterfly, i would have though my black tang would have probably gone first along with other more temp sensitive fish, i have five borbonious anthias and didnt even loss one. weird, my black tang didnt even get ick, only ick in tank now are my yellow bellies hippos.... and even them is almost none. but my tinkers and crosshatch died within a day. does anyone else think this is weird????? my temp went up to 88 and didnt loss not one coral. i also have declevis in there who didnt even look like nothing ever happened....

Sorry for your loss. I had a massive crash last April due to a chiller problem (well, the feed pump to the chiller to be precise). I was out of town at the time. Devastating.

Sorry about your fish, that crosshatch looks like he should have made it too but you never know about these things.

Sorry this happened, but do I think it is weird? no

The deepwater's went first. Its colder deeper so the warmth got to them. The shallow water fish can handle 88, just speeds up their metabolism.

yeah but the borbonious anthias and declevis butterfly are also deep water. actually the anthias are really deep water, deeper than the trigger... and the crosshatch its actually a really hardy fish being able to withstand higher temperature and acclimating easier to higher temps than the blotched anthias and even the two butterflyfish..... so when my borbonious anthias dont flinge coming from 100 to 300 m deep and my crosshatch dies in one day than it looks a little weird to me.....

higher water temp = lower ocygen = doom for big fish with high metabolisms.

[nismo_32]

that i agree with.....

Sorry for your loss. One thing I can think of is that my 2 Borbonius perch all day long and don't swim much till feeding time so they may be able to handle better. How big is your Xtrig (guessing about 7"+ on the pic)? I noticed that the smaller
ones are more active than the bigger ones.

Not sure why your Tinkers died and and the Declivis is fine as both swims pretty much all day long till the lights are out but they are slow swimmers.

Sorry.
Surprise to hear the Tinkeri went out. They are very resilient.
Nice collection of fish. by the way

[nismo_32]

thanks.... cant stop throwing money in that glass box...

Sorry to hear about your loss. That's why I have an Aquacontroller Jr for temperature redunancy. When temp > 81 chiller kicks in. When temp >83 then all lights turn off automatically.

wow what a shame he looks like he was beautiful good luck and sorry about your lost

[nismo_32]
