Well, hey all!
i had a little trouble with the nemo fish I got today. im not a beginner in saltwater, the lady at my local petland spent almost half an hour talking about fishs.
i remember seeing the movie finding nemo, so i decided i would try those fish.
i bought two nemo fish and a dory fish.
i picked up a nice big tank for them. i think the package said 5 gallons. the lady told me that i should get a little gravel so they feel at home, so i got some nice colored gravel, and a finding nemo decoration.
i went home and filled the tank with water, then dumped them in the water. for some reason the fish immediatly started swimming weird, but they got better. I sprinkled some flakes but they didn't eat. then today my one nemo is dead. i have no idea what could have killed him, i went back to the petstore and talked to the same lady, and she had no idea either.
what could have caused this?

2 ocellaris clowns and a regal/hippo tang in a 5 gallon tank....
.... tank set up and fish put in the same day.....
and you're SURE you're not a beginner in saltwater fish???
There are SOOOO many things wrong that happened that I am seriously wondering if this is not a troll post. Then again, I'm bored.... so I posted!

Are you serious?
Pardon me for saying this, but your story just doesn't add up at all. How much experience do you have with saltwater fish? Is the talk the lady gave you the only experience?

Take the fish back and get your money back. Buy a few books an read. You are not ready for even a goldfish.
