So I got a new shipment of Chromis on Wednesday and they were doing fine in QT, didn't see them eat much but they were pretty skitish so I didn't worry about it. Then on Saturday morning they were both dead.
My in tank ammonia gage was on the first color, which it has been before while QT'ing other fish and never had a problem so I don't think it was ammonia that killed them but I can't think of anything else that could kill them both without symptoms.
Any guesses what might have killed them?
Should I empty, clean, and refill the QT before a new shipment arrives?
I have successfully QT'ed 4 other batches of fish without any problems and I always empty the tank, clean, and refill it before a new batch arrives.
