My second to last chromis out of 5 is fighitng for his life and i know there is nothing i can do and its only a matter of time it is so sad :( whats interesting though is the my clowns and other chromis who was the bully is swimming by it, not doing any harm, just hoovering over the chromis on the sandbed

    do you have any idea why they are dying? perhaps not enough flow if they are gasping?

    I don't know how anyone keeps them long term. They just seem to slowly die off every time I try them.
