Hi, I'm brand new to the aquarium keeping hobby (only about 1 year in). Right now I have a small 20 gal tank with only 2 fish. I had more before but unfortunately they didnt make it.

I currently have a Green Chromis and a Blue Devil Damsel. I know its a bad combo, and yes the Chromis has been bullied, and will probably pass away soon. I can't get any more fish to maybe help him school, due to my relocation. Instead I have opted to put him in an isolation cage, to maybe help him out a bit.

In the past I got 5 Chromis so they would school but 4 of them didn't survive after being acclimated to my tank. I also had a Yellow Goby, who unfortunately died from what I think as internal parasites soon after he joined my tank.

I hope here I can learn more about how to manage my tank so I won't lose more fish, and become a better aquarist.
