    Fish out of water...

    Had to B&W clowns out for I would say 20-30 mins before I discovered them. Both had one of their sides all completely dried and the other side facing the ground covered in lint.

    Stupidest things you ever did in this hobby or????

During treatment with Cupramine and PraziPro, I turned the skimmer off. This created a back siphon since I...

    Do picasso clowns jump out of tanks??

Things looked good so I left for a bit and came back not seeing them. Looked down and found the first one, semi-dried. I tossed him into the fuge and...

    Stumped, ALL dead.....

    That sucks man. Did you check the fish to make sure no disease broke out (velvet, etc). I second the polyfilter above and keep your tank fallow for a bit to make sure if it's nasties that are only effecting fish dies, since obviously your corals/inverts are doing well.

    Tang Terrors

    1. Powder Blue 2. Sailfin Tang 3. Yellow Tang 4. Mimic Tang 1-3 currently in same tank. I think it helped since I added them all at the same time. There is bickering often, but it's just quick flashing and everyone does their own thing right afterwards. I have two nori clips and feed heavily...

    Copperband Butterflies

    Had mine for about two months. Great fish w/ great personality. First one to greet me in the morning and last one to sleep at night waiting to see if I'll give into temptation and feed him one last time. I made sure he ate at the store. The LFS fed him live black worms. I bought about a $1 of...
