My tank's water has been cloudy since last Monday and after I changed the water , it became cloudy again overnight . After a disease outbreak that killed most of my fish , a Mirror Butterflyfish is the only fish in the tank along with a Cleaner shrimp and 3 Sexy shrimp . My cleaner shrimp was the first one to die in the event and now 2 of my sexy shrimp are missing . It has been a week with water changes but everything keep coming back . Any advice would be great .:headwally:
The Mirror supposed to be a corralivore so I don't want to lose him !!!
Do you have caulerpa in the system? Are you dosing any substance?

Also, have you checked the ammonia level? I'd stop any feeding, and try tuning the skimmer to skim a little wetter.

Yes, I have some Caulerpa Lentifera in my system along with some Chaetomorpha . I'm not dosing anything . Today , my Mirror butterflyfish developed a small red patch on his side - which is not a good sign .

Without posting tank parameters, it's really hard to give much guidance.
That being said, is your caulerpa turning translucent?

Ammonia : about .5ppm according to my test kit and my caulerpa isn't turning translucent . The water has cleared up today but the fish still have the red marking .

I would dose some Prime or Amquel right away, and consider some water changes. A second opinion on the ammonia kit might be useful. They do fail eventually and tend to read small amounts of ammonia for everything when they do.
