Well, I'm not great with fish disease, but I suspect it in the past, rough, few days. I've been lucky enough not to have to deal with too much. I rcently got a batch of desert gobies (Chlamydogobius eremius). I love gobies and these are a Golden Fleece species for me (i.e. worth questing for). Unfortunately, for the past three days they've been dying. I started with 9 and I am now down to 2 with little hope for these last survivors. I lost the first one in a few minutes of putting them in Qt. That could have been lots of things from travel stress to my very hard water being a bit of a shock. Then I lost 2 more by that evening. And another two by morning. The next evening 1 more and today another. After the first two days, I hit them with med trio. They most recent have died in the same way. With their mouths open, looking bloated. They have not eaten since arrival. Wouldn't take BBS, nor small pods, nor live blackworm pieces. Not flake either. This from a species reputed not to be very fussy. I don't think they have been feeling well. At this point I am not hoping to save the last of them. I don't think that's in the card. I'm just hoping to understand what happened. Any input would be appreciated. Let's do the water parameter run down in the Qt. Here are the stats: pH - 7.6 Nitrates 0 Hardness 300 Nitrite 0 Ammonia 0 KH/Buffer 120 Water Temperature 25°C -
Hi guys, So my LFS just got in some Desert Gobies and I want to get them but I wanna know what I’m getting into before getting them, but I have yet to find any good info online. Has anyone cared for these before and can elaborate or maybe point me toward a source for some good information? thanks 😊
