Clown dead - Agian! Please Help

[susiestank]

Soo Today we went to the LFS and had the water tested. To confirm what I had found. Levels are all good. We know someone at the store so we know they wouldnt lie - plus we saw the tests.
What he had brought up , is that clownfish quality is declining. He says that clownfish are getting mass produced like goldfish. He said that could be part of the problem, and that we are just getting bad fish. Who KNOWS!!!!

My first thought is that you are just simply having bad luck with these fish. I would not advise buying fish online where you have to purchase 100 worth of livestock and you're not %100 sure fish quality is the issue. Other than that I can't think of what is going on. I had my coral beauty dissapear last week. No signs of his body or bones anywhere, completely mysterious. Good luck though.

Try bringing up the PH as mentioned above, or try a different kind of fish. I see no reason for the deaths, especially within 24 hours unless there is too much of a difference in the salinity / water quality of the store tank and yours. If you choose to get another fish, check the salinity before acclimating it and let us know what the difference is. I do not see this as a parasite problem.
Best wishes.
