I just lost a fish!

[NoobieReefer]

My Lamark angel just died. He was fine yesterday. Had him for a few days now and out of nowhere he died. He was eatting, swimming, acting normal. I also noticed some burn marks on the side of his body. A few months ago I lost a chromis and it had the same mark. Anyone know what this might mean?

Any pics of your tank? Are your powerheads guarded? Any crabs?

who are the other tankmates?

sorry I was just at their store and was using their computer... I just have lamarks, blenny, and clowns. Nothing big.

Many fish caught using cyanide spontaneously die for seemingly no reason.

how old is the tank ? and it isnt surprising for a fish to die a few days after being put into a new tank

Ive had the chromis in the tank for 3 months and it suddenly died with burn marks... tank has been up for 8 months. I asked around at other LFS and they seem to have no idea. Could it be some internal parasite?

Possible Electrical Short

Check if your electrical equipment is leaking electricity into system maybe you electrocuted him. Make sure you have a grounding probe
