Back when I was in freshwater, it's hard to count, so so many. Now that i've advanced to saltwater, probably a couple a year, mainly due to the fact I'm away on business WAY to much.

well the reason y i lost so many fish is due to my lack of knowledge. when i first started i didnt know what bioload was.. had 2 dominos, 2 yellow tailed, and 2 blue damsels with 1 percula clown in a 20g with a BTA in 30w 50/50 lights :D

My first year was rly bad, I lost 3 green chromis, 1 yellowtailed damsel, 1 scooter blenny, 1 sixline wrasse, and 1 bangaii cardinal. This year has been very good, as I only lost 2 firefish in a freak accident.

1 Cleaner shrimp (consumed by hogfish which was taken back to LFS), bangaii cardinal, Raccoon butterfly (both wouldn't eat but I didn't know what I was doing either...), a false perc clown, and about 20 snails due to my bloodthirsty gang of hermits.

Undecided, ask me in two weeks when I have moved and setup my first tank!!

I'm gonna guess 4, in advance.

Does this include rescues?? Cause if so then add a flamehawk, a coral beauty, a flame angel and a...nope that's it
Fish that weren't rescues were
3 damsels- my first fish , had lymph.
a beautiful Scotts fairy wrasse- he had popeye, That's a symptom, not a condition so I didn't know what his condition was.
Sebae anemone...see below, but he was also in a new tank w/ NO lighting
coral beauty-Bad ammonia spike due to adding live rock without curing first

:rolleyes: That's almost $30 per day in fish for a year and a half. Your tank must be filled with paint thinner if you buy and replace fish that fast. Somehow I have a hard time believing you spent over 15K in FISH in less than 2 years.

In the 3 months I've had my saltwater tank set up I've only lost 2 tomato clowns. My trigger had a case of ich but is on his way to recovery. BTW my names kevin and I guess I'm the newbie here so welcome me :) I'll be around with a lot of questions to ask.
