Fish problem

[dieselfish89]

Ok I'm kinda new to this but I started off my tank with two clowns and then I bought two four stripe damselfish and now a larger tomato clown and I'm down to one clown and the tomato clown. I have checked my plumbing and sump and all over in the tank. Are tomato clowns that mean that they will kill and eat the other fish?

IMO, yes to kill and the CUC does disposal duty.

So what's a good group of fish to put with him.

Please research before you buy fish. Tomato Clowns are one of the very most aggressive clowns and it will not suffer any other damselfish in its aquarium (clowns are damsels) except perhaps another Tomato Clown but there is no guarantee it even accept another Tomato. It's very likely going to kill your other clown. You don't give the size of your tank, but unless it is very big i would take back the Tomato and get a more suitable fish. If you want to keep the tomato the other fish you add are going to need to be equally aggressive.

I have a 180 gallon tank lots of caves and I was told by my local fish store that they were Good together cause they were in a 40 gallon breeder together at the store.

Yes. Only two clowns of the same species.
