The queen angel is still alive this morning so i'm crossing my fingers it will pull through. Still lying to one side but still breathing.
From all accounts, i believe it is h2s poisoning. The bucket of rocks were smelling like rotten eggs which was why I wanted to do the water change. Two pieces of rocks in 300g of water was all it took to kill off five fishes. Seems very localized in that the side of the sump that the rocks were in killed 4 fishes. 8 years in this hobby and I didn't even know about this h2s poisoning so folks, learn from my mistake - DON'T PUT ROTTEN EGG SMELLING ROCKS INTO YOUR TANKS NO MATTER HOW MUCH WATER FLOW OR HOW BIG OF A SKIMMER YOU GOT

Good lesson to learn, sorry you had to be the one to have gone through it for the rest of us to now understand what symptoms to look for. Hope the Queen pulls through.

Long live the Queen ......... well the Queen angel anyhow. After about 24 hours of heavy breathing, listlessness and lying on the floor of the tank, he started swimming around looking for food. I have no doubt it was h2s poisoning at this point and I'm very lucky my queen made it through. RIP to those that didn't make it.

Chin, I am so sorry to hear about your tank. I recently had an outbreak of ich and lost 2 banner fish, 3 semilarvartus butterflys, potters angel, powder brown and flame angel. I feel your pain. I have saved a few that are in QT with cupramine, including Blue Face Angel, Vlamingi, Magnificent Fox Face and Marine Betta. Nothing is going in my FO until February. Last night I found red bugs in my coral system. It is tough to keep going. I would encourage you to hang in there.
