We have been looking at the Coral Beauty at the LFS. It is about the same size as the clown and he seems pretty healthy. What do you think about this being the next fish? As of today, the four fish in the tank are getting along fine. No fights that we have noticed. Of course, no one really...

We have test kits and have been doing our own testing. The LFS asked us to bring a sample in after the chromis died. Our water was tested yesterday, but I don't remember what the numbers were. I guess before I post anything else, I will test the water. We are going to wait until next week...

WOW!! That stinks. I read somewhere that it really isn't a good idea to try and put a lot of fish in with the clown, but I would never have guessed that he needed to be a loner. My snails and coral are doing okay. All though, I had one snail die last week. ( I think we traumatized him by...

So, does anyone think that I am going to continue to have trouble adding new fish? Should I get him his own tank or take him back and get other fish, then get him? My tank is looking a little bare. AND...now the two chromis that are left are starting to fight. I know they are schooling fish...

We do not have an anemone for the clown. Everything the LFS is telling us now is that if we got one, it might make him even more territorial than he already is. They did say that we could, maybe, get another maroon and yellow (smaller) and see if we confused it into a girl, but that this could...

We are realizing, now, that we should have put the maroon in last, but the LFS did not tell us that. They seemed to think that it would be fine...so, now we have all these dying fish and a really aggressive clown. I think we might look at a dwarf angel. We had talked about that, but weren't...

We were wondering what others thought might be a good next addition to our tank. Here is what we have: A 55 gallon tank with live rock, 2 green chromis (1 died yesterday), 1 fuzzy dwarf lion, one gold stripe maroon clown, and 3 mexican turbo snails. We had a flame hawk for 24 hours, but he did...

thank you for you help. We have also talked to the guy we like at the store. He agreed that the clown was probably beating up on the kole, rubbing him on the rocks or something. We went ahead and took the kole out and humanely put him down. We wished him well and sent him to fishy heaven...

Sorry about that. I saw this post first and posted. I didn't realize there was one for disease and treatment. I didn't mean to cause any confusion or do anything wrong. Again, sorry for that. I really do appreciate all the help we have received from the other post. So, disregard this one...

we cycled the water as the fish store recommended, they checked our water before we addaed any fish (we have 3 chromis, 1 gold striped maroon clown, and a dwarf fuzzy lion). we have about 40ish pounds of live rock. We feed them Sally's Krill, mysis shrimp, and stips of dried seaweed. we added...

sorry about that Tank Size: 55 gallon Tank is 2 months old Temp is 78-79 ammonia is 0 nitrate is 20ppm nitrite is 0 pH is 8.3 Took a water sample in to our local store when the hawkfish died to make sure that my water tests were accurate. They said the alkalinity was a little high but not bad...

We recently added a Kole Tang to our reef tank. He came at the same time as a flame hawk. Well, the flame lasted less than 24 hours, but the Kole seemed to be fine. Now, he seems to be turning brown and we have found him lying on the bottom of the tank behind the rocks. When I moved some of...

We recently added a Kole tang to our tank. He and a flame hawk were added at the same time. The flame hawk died within 24 hours and we thought the Kole was doing fine. Well, now he has started getting this brown stuff on his skin and we have found him lying at the bottom of the tank. Then...
