So I did a water test to try to determine a cause of death on the green starfish. Here are my results:<br>Ammonia 0.5 ppm<br>Nitrite 0ppm<br>Nitrate 10ppm<br>None of that seems off the chart bad. I'm not haapy about the ammonia or nitrate, but I wouldn't think that'd be enough to kill him. What do you think?Mon, 09 Jan 2012 20:52:34 GMTpeterwymanRE: 13 day old clown fish dying on transferhttp://board.fishchannel.com/Topic204273-58-1.aspxHi there, I found your suggestion very helpful for me. I have a clown fish at my home in a quarantine tank for last two weeks.Mon, 26 Dec 2011 00:16:21 GMTjamijlexRE: 13 day old clown fish dying on transferhttp://board.fishchannel.com/Topic204273-58-1.aspxI have to ask you how you aclimate your fish to it's new home? Did you have it in a quarantine tank for a few weeks or did you float the bag in the tank, then dump him in. I suggest you take water out of you display tank and put it in a container large enough to hold him in and add a sponge filter and heater. Then float him in that until the temp equals then slowly add water in to the bag, about 1/2 cup at a time. When you add about three cups you start to remove water the same amount you add. Do that for about 45min to 1 hour then dump the fish in to the container. The water that you remove from the bag is disposed off not put back into the tank or container you will be using for quarantine.Thu, 24 Mar 2011 11:27:35 GMTleobayrRE: 13 day old clown fish dying on transferhttp://board.fishchannel.com/Topic204273-58-1.aspxyou probably didnt use the same water in the other tank. you stressed the fry out. better luck next time.Thu, 24 Mar 2011 09:06:24 GMTelcaroRE: 13 day old clown fish dying on transferhttp://board.fishchannel.com/Topic204273-58-1.aspxCan you give more info please.Fri, 21 May 2010 03:55:05 GMTFindingjohn13 day old clown fish dying on transferhttp://board.fishchannel.com/Topic204273-58-1.aspxDo i need to keep the clown fish underwater for a peroid of time or just not put in bigger tank for another week or 2Thu, 20 May 2010 12:38:16 GMTverlaist
