Yep
for a $4.99 fish they sure are pleasant to look at. Oh well when these go
that's it. It might be a salinity issue. I keep my SPg at 1.019 instead of
1.023.

Hello,Hello Russ,
Does anyone have any idea why my green chromis are going blind??? This is
the second group of 3 that have done this. I've had the tank for 6 yeas
( 75
gallon) and Still have some the original fish . A yellow tang and yellow
tail Damsel. They are NOT losing their sight. Neithe r are any of the
other
fish ( as far as i can tell) My light is a 40 watt 50/50 Coral LIFE on
for
8 hours . I also have 2 - 65 watt split actinic /daylaight compacts on for
about 5 hours. ( about 15 inches above the tank. They bump into things and
are having a tuff time finding food. If they bump into a floating piece,
they might get it. The last batch eventually died.
Could the phospors of the 50 50 have changed ???? I have coraine algae all
over everything and hate to change the light. And why just the Chromis???
Russ
I have bought groups of green chromis 3 times, and they have all
eventually died-off. Even though they were quarantined properly, they
seemed less robust than any of my other fish. Some got white "fungus"
patches on them, and if there were any white marks near their head, it
seemed to get into their eyes, and make them blind. I think many of
them are from the Red Sea, which is higher salinity than most other
places, or perhaps the collection and storage procedures are
incorrect. A great pity, as they are beautiful fishes.
Regards, Fishnut.
