I have never had cromis but my brother and friend has and they never had any luck with them. If u add the clowns after there is a better chance of them not getting aggressive toward the fish in there
It was both clowns the passed. But the shrimp and coral are all normal and happy to my view, just puzzles me.. and I used filter media to cycle the tank and cheeked levels for a week and everything was fine. And it was cured rock. So Im assuming the fish were weak. They guy we got them off of wants to see us this weekend hopefully shed some light maybe it was a bad shipment.
I would not think that the tank could cycle in a week, with just using filter media from another tank. That being said, clowns are generally pretty tough and some people use them for fish-in cycling. It's odd that they did not make it, yet everything else is okay. Seems like it would be the other way around.
Wow, this story breaks my heart...regardless of what others might say, being a parent of two healthy boys, I can't even imagine what you are going through. If having Nemos was my sons wish in this situation, I'd buy new ones every day if that kept him happy. There are certain times when the usual rules don't apply.
