How Many have you lost??

I have lost every single anthias I have tried (probably 5 now) - so, no more anthias for me!

 

I have been in this hobby so long that I have lost track. Even if I did keep track, it might be depressing.

I prefer to look at how happy the fish I have are.

 

No... It wouldn't eat. It would peck at the rocks but I never saw it eat. I got it through the mail and it was only 1.5 ".
Seemed healthy when I got it.
My tank was maybe 2-3 months old. Funny thing is with all my fish deaths. I still have my original fish crew that I put in all at once.
My Yellow tang, hippo, 5 chromis (1 died), 2 True Perculas.. I put these fish in all at once shortly after cycle and they're all still with me including my YT damsel I cycled with.

I didn't notice the flame being harassed by any fish but the copperband was for about 3 days. I think that is a huge factor even when you don't see a fish being harassed.

 

Shortly after I got him he lost some legs - which sometimes can mean stress/illness. And then about a month later he passed on. He was a fighter!

 

oh i see.. i lost one of my crabs ( now remembering) when he was molting i thought he was dead and i threw him away.. thus killing him..
this was like..3 weeks after starting on this hobby,

 

wow.. are they hard to keep? or how did they die?

 

So far just 2 Chromis. Lost em about 2-3 days after buying. Bought 3 2 died and one made it. LFS replaced them for me.

 

They need to eat almost constantly. Certain species like purple queen anthias are especially tricky and die regardless, and pretty quickly in captivity.

 

oh.... thats good info to know

 

I've lost 4 clowns, put them too fast after cycling and not enough water changes, lost a goby watchman, starvation i think, he never seem to eat to his fill and not enough in the sand to sustain him, lost a couple of shrimp, lost a wrasse not sure why she hid herself never saw her again .
