Zebra danio fry eating live baby brine shrimp
The little guy is one month old now! =) I gave him some live baby brine shrimp for the first time, and decided to take a little video of it. He LOVES it! Actually, I think “he” is a “she”…. =D Enjoy!
Butterfly illness (marine tank)?
55gal fish only(with live rock) tank. Established Dec/06. Water chem tests all negative including phosphate. PH 8.0-8.1. Temp 78. Fluval 403, protien skimmer, u/v ster. All other fish healthy. Noticed butterfly (which is normally white with black stripes and some yellow) had her white areas turning grey/dark. Today she appears to be dying (labored breathing, at bottom of tank). I am quarantining her now but wonder if anyone knows what, if anything, I should treat for? (fyi: we feed marine pellet, mysis shrimp and live brine..pellet mornings, shrimp evenings). Again, water chemistry tests perfect.. help?
Salinity normal (1.021), water changes every 2 weeks using r/o water and salt. Only 5 fish in the tank: two smaller damsels (one is mildly territorial but the butterfly is so big he doesn’t bother her), one coral beauty, one clown w/anemone
