so i bought two clownfish from the same stock at a store and a few weeks later the smaller one looked a little sick and died, after that the other one stoped eating and just kinda swam in the corners. didnt look sick at all, and didnt anything like the smaller one did, but he died this morning. i was just wondering if its possible that clownish do this normally?

Nope ... that's not normal for clowns or any other fish for that matter. What are your water paramaters?

the water is all good...nitrates 0, ammonia 0, pH 8.0-8.2, calcium is good, phosphates might be a little high but i havnt tested that (some hair algae), after the first died i installed a uv sterilizer, so hopefully that will kill anything that might have caused it to die. everything else in tank is doing great (i only have 3 other chromis and a hand full of coral and inverts)
