    On the weekend I noticed one of my first chromis I added in after my cycle was discolored.. i then noticed my emperor angel picking on him. So i put two and two together and moved him to my qt tank. My QY tank is currently housing my friends live rock for a short time. the little runt started to look better and then.... he got eaten by a crab in the rock...

    RIP my little chromis friend....:(..

    sorry to hear it - one of my favorite fish! If you decide to get chromis again definitely get a school - they do A LOT better that way and usually wont be picked on as much K+

    I'm feeling your pain, I've lost a firefish two days ago. He will be missed.

    I don't mean to sound insensitive, and I AM sorry for your loss. But this made me literally "LOL."

    ...sorry...I'm a jerk :-X

    Most likely he died from something else other then the crab eating him, he probably died then the crab ate him

    If it makes you feel any better I can't keep chromis for the life of me. I don't know what it is about them that make them hate me so much. Started with 7 and only one was left standing after a week.
