Ok, I don't get it, I have lost 3 clownfish in the past 3 months, lost a pair (Marshall and Lilly) about 3 months ago, and just lost my latest clown (Chester) this morning. Im almost certain that the ick claimed Marshall and Lilly, but Chester, had no signs of anything, looked fine, ate like a champ, swam around quite a bit too. The only thing odd was that he really liked the top of the tank for some reason, about 50% of the time he was near the bottom, then the other 50% he was at the top. There was also a white zit (is what it looked like, except it wasn't a zit) on his side about a week ago, but it had gone away a few days ago. I have a tail spot goby (Barney is his name) and a koran angel (Robin), they all got along great, except Robin didn't seem to like Chester sometimes, but it was rare. Barney has been in the tank for almost 3 months now, right about the same time the ick took Marshall and Lilly, and Robin is coming up on 2 or 3 weeks. Both are doing great, both are getting bigger everyday, and Robin, is starting to get some yellow around her mouth, and Barney, has a gut.... I just don't get it. I also have noticed a coroline algae bloom recently, along with some green algae on the glass but, can be scrapped off, just been really busy lately with my EMT class (no I am not neglecting the fish, when I take a break, the tank gets my undivided attention). My button corals on my LR is growing like crazy too (not spreading, just getting bigger). I tested my water, and everything seems to be fine, but I will post the readings again, later tonight when I get off work. Any thoughts? At this point, I am really glad I didn't get the maroon pair like I wanted to, but the boss (my girlfriend) said no lol. I guess I owe her one for saving me $10....
