I need help please!

:needhelp:My boyfriend bought me a 12 gallon nano cube for Christmas and all was well. I set it up, let it cycle, put a few damsels in it, and then started getting more expensive fish. I have a little emperor snapper for like 2 months and a couple of clown gobies which were just chilling until our 110 was up and running, and then all the sudden they died. I had 3 fish that for 2 months were totally fine, then they died. I had the water tested, everything came back fine. I only fed every 2 days or so, which I was told was fine. I've always had big fish tanks growing up, 55+, and my mom owned a pet store and I ran the fish department so it's not like this is my first rodeo. My mom has a 7 gallon nano in her office and I take care of that and it's full of coral and fish and just fine. All I had in this tank of mine was a couple of pieces of live rock on live sand and these fish. I don't know what to do. Please help!

So.... let me get this straight.... you had a few damsels, an emperor snapper, and 2 clown gobies in a 12 gallon? You overloaded and exceeded the bioload of your tank. No more than 3 small fish in a 12 gallon.
Just my opinion of course. :happyfish

Once again I will say, I had 3 fish in it when it died. I sacrificed the damsels to the 110 that was cycling. All that was in it when the fish died was the small emperor snapper and 2 clown gobies. That's it.
