I added a powder blue and a black clown to my 75 which only had one black clown in it.
All fish went through TTM before being introduced to the main tank.
The three fish are in there together for about a month. All seems fine. Everyone is getting along and eating well.
I just got over a bad algae outbreak over the summer and added 6 turbo snails.
A week later I bought one small emerald crab to help with bubble algae.
The day after the crab was added, my wife said she thought the PBs color was slightly different. That night he hid in the rocks and didn't come out to eat.
He was dead on the sand the next morning.
A week later one of the clowns disappeared, and two days later, the final clown disappeared.
My LFS says they keep their snails and crabs in a different system that doesn't share its water with the fish so that I didn't need to QT the snails and crab.
My parameters are all good with the exception of my nitrates being a little higher than I would like.
Aside from my wife's remark about his color (which I myself did not notice),everything seemed perfectly fine.
I just don't get it.
Any ideas?
