If he was in the process of dying, yes the CUC could have gotten to himO now I feel dumb. But would they attack him? He was alive this morning at 240 perfectly fine. Then this morning at 10 he was just missing his tail then he died about 10 minutes after i found him like that
I think best idea is to keep monitoring the fish for any signs of aggression toward each other and to keep a close eye on the parameters for a month or 2 before considering any more fish. The clownfish I'd leave on its own for at least another 2 months so it establishes itself as the female and then consider a much smaller one that comes from a group of similar size so you know it's likely a maleWell i hadnt seen the yellow tailed chromis in a couple hours before i checked the tank so he mightve died and floated out of his hidey hole
+1 TO THISIMO, I would not have added so much fish so soon unless very experienced in marine aquarium. I'd let the tank mature several months prior to adding more fish. Also from pix of ur tank, it appears u r using hang-on-back (HOB) filter unless the tubes r draining into a sump w protein skimmer that I do not see. It's possible to run a tank w/o a skimmer, but more difficult. Can u provide pix of filter or list them?
Oh also, if it was me I'd look for another Local Fish Store (LFS). In my experience with LFS, the good trustworthy ones are unfortunately too few and far between and it's been caveat emptor as per ur experience. Cycling a tank w fish is old school and a LFS who'd recommend this while rapidly selling a beginner so many fish is setting them up for failure. :mad:
There r many diff ways to be a successful reef keeper and what works for others may not work for u, which sometimes results in opposing advices as u can see in this forum... I usually ignore assertive advice from Mr. Know It All's. However there is ONE thing that we all agree on and that's patience. Nothing good happens quickly in this hobby. Take it slow, read articles & research what people tell u w/o blindly accepting things folks say as the final answer and over time u'll figure out what works for you.
