Chromis problem

tray262 · 03-21-2006, 10:40 AM

I slowly figuring out that I can't keep Chromis for some reason. I have a 150gal FWLR so far it will be reef some as I get things figured out. I've bought a total of 11 Chromis I'm down to 3. I had a problem with them being weak at first, the would swim next to the trap and get sucked to it, and they were too weak to get away, lost 2-3 that way. Fixed that problem, I added a large pre-filter sponge. No more stuck fish. So now I was looking at the tank last night. One of them now has a white lump on his bottom lip looks like wound but what ever could that be ? In this tank I have 4 pep. shrip, 2 skunk cleaner shrimp, 1 Algie Blenny, and 1 Royal Gramma Basslet, and a bunch of hermit carbs and snails. Everything else is doing wonderful. I just can't figure out the Chromis, levels so far are Am:0 Nitrite:2 Nitrate:15- any advise ?

It might be Lymphocystis.

Ok, let here's an update, I'm down to 2 Chromises, So I lost a total of 9, But on the bright side, everything else is doing wonderful. Maybe just tank tank problems, but we'll see what happens later.

ive came to the conclusion that they get sick or are sick when you buy them, i have 2 out of 3 and there was a small one, and he is making it then the other medium who died.
