Caryl Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 How long has the tank been set up and do you siphon the substrate when you do the water changes? To me it is suspicious that all those that died were bottom dwellers. It makes me suspect a problem in the gravel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 also were the bodies damaged, if so how ? when it happens it is usually only very large clowns that will attack other fish other fish will also nibble on a fish after it dies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
