gobies

[sig45]

I have a 12 gal nano, for some rason i have trouble keeping fire fish gobies alive, i have been through 3. Is this a common thing, my clowns do fine, never a problem, it just seems to be the gobies, give me some input.

my water is pretty good, i had had some issues with the ph level its about 4 points low, nothing huge, I do have a blood shrimp who can be a little agressive about his cleaning area, but other then that nothing messes with them, like i said before my clown fish are super stars, they are great....

How soon do they die? How do you acclimate them?

Woops, no not a firefish, a maybe 1/2 inch clown gobie.
