Hey all! First off, thanks for the advice in the last two posts I posted over the past couple of weeks.

Secondly, I have had some ups and downs with my 25-gallon peninsula. I already lost a watchman goby I had for a week, and two clownfish. My water parameters are perfect and within range. Salinity is perfect. I now have two clownfish paired up, a gramma, turbo snails, some zombie snails, and a conch. Everyone is happy, and I feed them enough so my tank doesn't get thrown out of whack. I got a pistol shrimp with the goby and, like it is said before, the goby didn't make it, and the pistol shrimp, who knows, because I have only seen one of his claws had popped off. I also had a cleaner shrimp molt, and I haven't seen it in a couple of days, so I think I’m doing something wrong. Any more advice you guys have to share? I want to start putting some corals, but if things are dying and going missing... What's the point? My tank is about three months old and cycled. I know how a lot of this hobby is trial and error and it's not easy at all.

Welcome. 🙂

Speaking for myself I feel it's important to post specific values for Sg, Alk, Ca, Nitrate and Phosphate.
Lighting intensity and brand as well please?
Are you dosing anything?

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
