On Sunday I bought 3 Blue Reef Chromis and 1 Yellow Watchman Goby. They are in a 10 gall Qt tank. When I went to check on them Monday morning one of the blue chromis had died. I was not too suprised because on Sunday I noticed he was breathing heavy after I put him in the Qt. I acclimated them for about 1 hour. They ate some flake flood on Sunday, but Monday when I feed them some mysis shrimp they did not touch it. I tried to feed them some flakes a little later, and there was no interest. They have not eaten since.
Below are my water parmaeter in my QT. I set the qt tank using 3/4 water from my main tank, and 2 sponge filters that have been sitting in the overflow for 2 months. I also have an airstone. I plan to do water change in the next couple days, but did not want to do one right away after setting up the tank
Salt 1.022
Amnonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 5 (this is wierd because the trate in my main tank is 0)
PH 8.2
Is there a correlation between the one fish dying and my other fish not eating?
Is there anything I can do to entice them to eat?
