I recently had 85% of my Malawi Hap tank inhabitants mysteriously Die, at the rate of 1 or 4 every other day. 1st the exochromis Angynes 5 dead, i assumed eaten by the Big Mouth Polystigma. next day the polystigma died (parasites? from eating the exo's??), a couple days later 2 venustus, then the dimidichromis got white stringy stuff on his scales, I put him in a quarantine and added a ton of salt, he was fine in a couple days, meanwhile i lost 2 more Venustus,. Next I salted the hell out of the main tank, Survivors include 1 venustus, 1 Dimidichromis, 5 Syndontis cats, and a rhino pleco. i also performed several large water changes during the extinction. Keep in mind this is a well established tank, i perform regular water changes, and have had the no new tankmates for 6 months.
It has been a week and everything seems fine again.
