So I have had the tank going now for around 2 months or more. I started with a single clown all is going well with him. A couple weeks latter I added a bangai cardinal. Him and the clown are friends and are always hanging out. two weeks latter added a pseudochromis at that time I got two hermits and 2 turbo snails and a couple nessaris. I did not need to add a large clean up crew but what I thought would be enough to clean up any leftovers that make it to the sand bed. well three days later fish died. It just sat in a cave it made istself under the rock work and wouldnt come out. I then took fish back checked water paramaters for two days. The only thing i saw was salenity got down to 1.23. In range for the fish so I thought maybe just stress. So I went and returned the fish and got a royal gramma. Needless to say that fish followed the same pattern. So after getting the fish I do a drip acclimation with fish abble to see inside the tank and the other fish as well. I watched closely after I entroduced the fish to make sure the other two where not picking on him and they didnt. The clown really wanted the other fish to come out. I do not know if its an issue with the type of fish they are and that is the issue or if its just stress. I usually drip for around 2 hours maybe more if I am distracted with kidos. No issues with the other fish. No spots or anything on the gramma or the pseudochromis or on my other two fish. New to the hobby so I figured I would ask on here and see what people think. I do not want to just add more fish if this is going to be a problem. Ill attach a pic of tank so you can see what I am working with. I feed frozen mysis right now and I am going to be picking up some different food types this weekend so I can vary the diet and keep everyone fat and happy. Sory pic is slighty cloudy I had to fix some sand kidos grabbed my magnet for powerhead and down the powerhead went to throw some sand.
