Unhappy sad day..

i just lost one of my favorite fish"tank"my blue jaw trigger and now my blonde naso"biggie"seems to be going the same route.im thinking that maybe since my mandarin died it might of released some kind of toxin into the water.

I agree with thor32766, I had a mandarine died in my tank and left it there count's reach it, nothing happened, sounds like the problem is something else, for sure run carbon and do all your tests. How about temp, salinity, ph, not enough oxigen maybe, skimmer not working?
