I did a weekly water change on my 2 tanks on Thursday. No problems Friday, on Saturday I found a dead paracyp in one tank that I separated from the main tanganyikan tank. Not a surprise he hasn’t been looking good. I also though found a dead paracyp in the main tang tank. Surprised at that. Little later in the day I find another big male paracyp dead. Not sure what’s going on I do a big water change. Everything looks fine Saturday night.
Sunday morning everything in the main tang tank is dead. Not one survivor between the paracyps, simils, and sumbus. I’m clueless what happened. My South American tank is fine. Water parameters after I found the first dead fish were perfect 0/0/10. My first theory is something with the dechloror chlorine in the water. Other then that there’s a tiny chance I may have had some rust buster on my hand when getting the dead big male paracyp out. This is very doubtful though as I had washed my hands and ate before. The last theory is some cleaner drifted in a bucket on Thursday while doing the water change on the tang tank. This is doubtful as the fish were seemingly okay for 2 days afterwards.
My thought was some kind of dechlor issue based on the complete kill, strong chlorine smell in tap water recently, and low probability of cross contamination from oil or cleaners. I’m open to any suggestions as this tank has been rock solid aside from agresssion.
