Nano stock recommendations

[SaltyKoi]

I am getting frustrated. Was gonna have chromis and a clown. I am going through chromis like candy. I have bought a total of 5 to keep a school of three. I have 2 now. 3 dead in the last week. I'm giving up on chromis. Any recommendations on what to stock? What do you guys have in your nano.
I have a 30g innovative marine.

Clowns, wrasses, fire fish, dotty backs

Can you tell us more about your tank? Parameters, Etc. There's something wrong if you're burning through chromis that fast...

I use to have a pair of yasha goby with pistol shrimp, real cool seeing them all together.

I would also check your water chemistry, chromis are indestructible

How long have you had the nano set up?

+1 I agree and sometimes a pest lol

i would say go with gobies... purps, fire etc... they're very hardy

I have checked my water and I also had the lfs check it. Nothing is off or out of parameters. I think it was just a bad batch. All three dead were from the same shipment.

In all my years in this hobby ( hobbyist and working as an aquarist) I have never killed chromis. Only thing I can think is bad batch.

I think I'm gonna give it a little bit and see what happens with the 2 I have that are from a different shipment. Corals and inverts and happy as hell.

How long did you have the chromis? Sometimes they like to pick off the weakest link till there is 1.

Chromis tend to be aggressive towards one another and drop like flies so its a pretty common occurrence...

 

[BeanMachine]

If you go with a firefish or two, make sure your tank is covered they are like torpedo jumpers... well all fish will jump so best to get it covered anyway.

I would avoid a dotty back unless its your last fish. A royal gramma would be a better choice, they are really vibrant and less aggressive.

What about assessors?

Agreed and I'm pretty sure that's what happening to your chromis.

Assessors are nice, also aggressive in my experience also best to add that one last. The ORA yellow assessor is really nice looking imo
