    yea i figure why keep waising money on fish if they continue to die. i just dont know whats going on, and my fish have been through different suppliers so its not where they were collected.

    i think my next fish will be a midas blenny, i have always wanted one. and with less fish i think it will be easier to catch the chromis

    With the ICH keep popping up maybee you should consider a Fuge. Even a Small to Medium HOB fuge with chaeto would probably help with the water quality, which often is a cause of ICH.

    I'm curious as to where you think that the brooklynella came from seeing as you've had your clownfish for a while? Are they the only fish that are infected with what you think is brook? If they are, I'm thinking that it's not brook that you're dealing with. Here's a link to the symptoms of brooklynella:

    I don't think it's that simple. It could be a contributing factor, but I don't think it's the sole cause. My fish love my hands. they come up to them thinking I have food and sometimes I do.
