Thank you all for the advise. I was hoping it wasn't the clown but I guess even with it just chasing the other fish, it would stress them enough not to acclimate correctly to the tank.

It has been 3 fish that have died. All of different varieties ranging from meat eaters (i.e. dwarf lion) to herbivores (i.e. sailfin tang). They have come from two different fish stores so I don't think that is the problem. Plus each fish store had the fish in their tanks for approx 1 month...

The only fish I have ever seem her chase would be the blue/green chromis. She doesn't ever seem to pay attention to any of the new fish introduced. I also thought about that but kind of ruled it out since they are dying after the lights go out. Also, I need to mention that there are no marks...

I have a problem with introducing new fish to the tank - they die after about a week. I drip acclimatize them for about 1 hour and then float them in a bag with the new water to make sure the the temp is equaled out. The usually is active and swimming by the next day. After about a week of...

All these great shots just make me want to go buy a new camera... :(

Thanks for all your support. I'm going to be waiting a while before adding anything else to the tank and keeping a close eye on the existing fish. I really don't want to lose another.

Final update - He didn't make it. The swimming around must've been the idea of getting better just before dieing. That is what's frustrating about this hobby, a perfectly healthy fish that shows no sign of stress for a long while suddenly just plummets down hill for no apparent reason and...

Quick update...He's still alive. So far I've managed to warm his QT a little bit higher then the display and dosed with copper. While he still hasn't really eaten that I could see, he does seem to be a little more responsive. I'm still holding onto that thin thread of hope. He is still very...

The test readings are in the first post. I've been feeding a frozen spiraline (spelling?) mix in addition to having a seaweed strip in a clip constantly in the tank. He was originally eating both but stopped eating completely in the last couple of days. I've even tried soaking the food in...

Only thing new was a small fire goby which was in the last month. He's doing fine and he really eats during feeding time so I know he is not stressed. I think I'm just going to be done with any fish that can even have the possibility of being stressed easy...its just rough seeing a fish like...

That was what I was afraid of. Now I just need to figure out what changed and made him sick or stressed.

I have a juvenile sailfin tang that has been in my tank for about 2 months. Over the last week, he has gotten really skinny and seems to have stopped eating. All the other fish in the tank are swimming, active, and eating and the coral I have are also growing and spreading. He also seems to...

My flame angel and I will give it shot this month...

After watching the way this one attacked the shrimp bait I used (absolutely no hesitation), I'm very sure that he was the culprit. And yes, it definitely is an emerald crab. He's currently in my sump awaiting transport to the LFS this weekend. Only reason he was in the tank to begin with was...

Cool! Breaking out the tackle box and the crabs are going for a ride tonight. No more of my fish for them! Thanks guys.

Can anybody give me advice on how to catch a couple of larger emerald crabs please. I would like to keep them alive if at all possible. It seems as if they have been catching and killing a few of my smaller fish and I want to get them out before I lose any more. Thanks for all advice.

I've just recently added a deep send bed filtration section to my sump (approx. 8 inches deep) and was wondering from the people that may have them as to how to keep the sand clean. I know in the main tank, I have to use sand filtering fish and inverts but was wondering if this would work in the...

Nice Knuckle! Good call on your part too!

Good call Zoot - not sure if it is a juvenile or just a variation but here's a picture from today during feeding time. Now if I could only get my camera to focus on the objects I'm trying to take pictures of instead of the rock all the time....
