2 fish dead!

[tmy880]

Smallest Green Chromis is dead. He didnt swim with the others much, and I saw the clowns kinda pickin on it.
Royal Gramma Dead. Cant find body even after I moved my rocks around.
Gonna buy bigger fish now so they dont hide or get picked on.
Just my sad story for the day.

That is sad! But if you don't know exactly why they died I'd wait a bit to buy new fish and see if you can diagnose the problem. Depending on the type of clown, it might be hard to believe they would kill another fish...What else do you have in the tank, how old is it, how big is it, how often did you wait before adding fish?
Good luck w/the rest of them.

Do you have a webcam? I ask because you may want to film your tank and record it to the hard drive so that you can watch behavior during the day. I did this to track down what was knocking a particular piece of coral off.
