Im in need of some help!! I have had my 29gal tank set up for about three months now and have several inverts living in it. Flame Scallop, Emerald Crab, (3) Dwarf Zebra Crabs, (4) Peppermint Shrimp, Coco worm and a tuxedo urchin. All are thriving in the tank. In the last week i have lost three fish that died three days after being introduced.The fish introduced were Flame Goby, Lawnmover Blenney and a beautiful Maroon Clownfish. All fish acclimated for close to 5hrs via drip acclimation. Water levels are perfect. 20% water changes have been made every two to three weeks. Can someone please shed some light on what i can do?

It's impossible to speculate as to why your fish died without more information. I think. introducing 3 fish at once into a small tank is a bad idea. What other fish do you have?
Even with large tanks they seem to remain healthier when the fish are introduced slowly. Good luck.

Hi, welcome to the site.

So sorry to hear of your troubles...I can't see your picture, it froze my computer when I tried...

Can you post your exact test result numbers? This s important for us to try and figure out the mystery, telling us all is good isn't very helpful. Also a list of all of your equipment, power heads, filtration and such. Did you put three fish in all at one time, or over time trying different fish? Where did you get the fish, sometimes it's the stores supplier...if all the fish were purchased from the same place, you might try a different store. ***** for example (not all of them, but quite a few of them) have nothing but sick fish it seems.
