    Sorry about your loss. :( Sometimes it just happens, and with no one at fault. We've all been there. My guess would be that there was something wrong before you even brought the little guy home. I know how hardy the clowns can be, when my anemone died mine were swimming around in the toxin infested water like nothing was wrong what-so-ever, so there had to be something going on before you even brought it home.

    Sorry for your loss :( .. Hopefully the next one will survive :) ... I agree with packleader, they are pretty hardy fish. Your little guy had to have something going on with him before you brought him home.. K+1... Good luck with the next one.. Cant wait to see pics of the new addition.. :D

    I'm so sorry, if you get another one put it in a QT tank. I put mine in one--she didn't eat for about the first 3 or 4 days, then she started to gobble the food up. She was also tank raised. I think if I had put her in the main tank first that she would have starved because of the competition, as it was after QT she was familiar with me and the food sooo no problems. Good Luck with your new one!
