New fish being attacked

[jeremy]

I'm am having trouble introducing any new fish into my 55 gallon tank.I have 1 yellow tang,2 tomato clowns, and one percula clown.I tried to introduce 2 cardinals but they both died my carpet anemone alwas spits there bones out.Now im not sure if them are being attacked by my other fish so bad they float into it or not.I also tried to introduce another percula clown and they all picked on it and in the morning it was gone.

You have one too many clowns. The tomato clown is very aggressive and I'm surprised that the two tomato's have not fought for territory unless I am wrong I have read and was told by the lfs that percs are the only ones you can keep in pairs. However, some people are real fortunate to keep more than just two but I believe that might be due to the size of the tank.

Clowns should be introduced together if you expect to keep them. They are extremely territorial. Also, the yellow tang should be one of the last fish to introduce. They are very aggressive and territorial. How large is your tank?

My tank is 55 gallons. I have four flouresecent bulbs 1 actinic , 1 power glow and 2 other regular ones.(hard to control algae).I only have a 200 aquaclear outside filter for the tank. And one powerhead for water movement.I don't have an under ground filter i don't know if it's necessary.
