Had a lovely queen angel for ages, and this morning I couldn't find him anywhere. I thought he was just hiding really well, so I stripped the rocks apart and found him. He was in perfect condition last night, about to get moved into a bigger tank tomorrow, but now he's dead. The only other fish in the tank are a baby leopard wrasse and a yellow tang - the queen was about 5-6". Any ideas? No clean up crew in this tank.
Water parameters are:
ph 8.4
amm 0ppm
nitrite 0ppm
nitrate 5ppm
temp 26°C
salt 1.024
The yellow tang is really peaceful, had him about 4 years and he's never touched anything. The weird thing is, there's not a mark on the queen angel - it's driving me mad.
I was about to suggest taking a closer look when I read your update. Gutted is right, mate. That angel was worth so much more than just pounds, wasn't it?
