Found Purple Firefish dead trapped under rock
I know my Perc was not too fond of him...can't see him as a killer...my water parameters are okay SG 1.025, NH4-0, NO2-0, NO3-0.5. I know he wasn't eating much for the 5 to 7 days I have had him. I wonder if he was just overly stressed. Not used to fish dyin' so kind of bummed. It is usually 95% the fish keepers fault. I thought they were pretty hardy fish so it has to be something screwy I did. Any suggestion on a pretty fish to replace him...besides a perc? After I get a better grasp of what is going on of course

that sucks, ive found them to be not the most easy first fish
I would wait to add anything more, in saltwater it pays to take your time. keep your clowns, let the tank mature for a few more months, then add another fish

Did you slowly go from 100% lighting down to darkness at night?

Stock the tank you have, not the tank you plan to have. Always have and use patience.

For those of you who want a SW tank and never have had one before or just starting out, read this blog entry from my blog on AC, it will give you a place to start.

You would be amazed at just how aggressive those cute little clowns can be. Even as passive as they are, they are still aggressive. I don't remember right off hand, what size is the tank?
