Saltwater fish help?

Posted on May 18, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

I have a 55 gallon saltwater tank w/ live sand. We didn’t get live rock because I’m not interested in having a reef anytime soon. So I have let it run for about a month fish free. The other day my fiancee bought me 3 small yellow tail blue damsels. Well we brought them home and aclimated them for the legnth of time the lady told him and one of the fish acted strangely and the next morning was dead. We feed the remaining two live brine shrimp and the seemed to be happy and healthy in their new home. Well to my dismay another one is dead. We’ve checked the levels and everything seems fine except the pH it’s roughly 8.8 could this have caused my fish’s death? What should I do now?

Thanks

I have been to loads of fish shops in search of live food for my breeding of betta splendens, but it seemed that they only stocked them on a very random basis.I replaced live food with boiled earthworm cut up very finely (it works great), but i went to all the hassle of finding or digging them up , scalding them with water , cutting them with a scissors and freezing them for later…. and being always told by my fiancee that I was disgusting. One day my 6 year old daughter returned from a toy shop down the road with “sea monkeys”? I never heard of them either, on close inspection they turned out to be brine shrimp that a child could harvest and keep them for a guaranteed 2 years, they multiply or breed or whatever readily…..I couldnt believe it, happy days, so its the toy shop for pet food and pet shop for pet toys ( i have dogs too).
