i dont understand if all your fish are dying why would you buy more stuff??

i bought this a day before my fish died

There's your problem it's releasing toxin, run carbon and remove it without stressing it out. Follow with a big water change and more carbon.if not when it dies i bet it nukes your tank

OMG!

That's your main problem. Flush that thing ASAP. Google "cuke nuke".

Do more massive water changes. Run lots of carbon.

Buy some test kits and learn how to use them. Either the LFS stressed that cuke or you did. If you did, you still have secondary issue(s) like the improper acclimatization of that cuke and/or poor water conditions.

+1 this is a prime example of why to do your own research....these animals are very risky to have in a aquarium thats not dedicated to them.stressing this animal out could be as simple as flow or as difficult as age......either way when it goes it releases its toxin and can nuke tanks ten times the size of yours.

judging by the video its already started so get it out and run agressive carbon(in a reactor)

im taking a wild guess here that your fairly new to salt water( not knowing how to test and all) we can tell that from the video your not running a mature tank with all the bells and whistles.....so low experience and basic tools......you should stick with the easier stuff for now untill the knowlege is aquired, it would be a sin for you to lose all the money invested into livestock.

those fish didnt need to die and its a sad reality that a five minute reading could have saved their lives, a better understanding of the hobby in general would have told you your problem the minute it happened and alot of less time would have been wasted.

once your tank stabilizes do some reading on the animals you want to keep.....make a list and stick to it, choose your livestock carefully as it takes years to find the perfect match...but one bad addition could wipe it all out in a day.


not trying to be rude but it needed to be said.

good luck
