Ok, I got my 95 tank set up and about a week ago i added 6 green chromis.
Well after i came back from my vacation over the long weekend, I noticed I only had 5 but there was no 6th ones body, I still havnt found his body. Well this morning i came down and i couldnt find the 5th one or its body.
Now both of these fish had something wrong with them. The first one to die was missing a scale above its eye and the second one didnt swim with the other four.
I dont think this is a case of flying fish
So whats happening.
Thanks for all the help

two things either the fish died under a rock like my goby once did and we did not find him until we moved a rock or it is a mantis shrimp.

Possible that you got a bad batch of Chromis and they are dying from something they already had. A clean up crew makes quick work of dead fish...
