Hello All, I have gotten my 1st nem and its not going to well. I should have waited until the tank fully cycled before I added one but I was impatient and the lfs said I should be fine.

Hi, I recently added a couple chromis to my nano tank and they sadly passed away very quickly. I cant imagine it was due to water quality or acclimation. Took a picture of one of the chromis and seemed to have black spots on the face. No idea where this disease could have come from. My clownfish...
