One of my clownfish just keeps dying!

[ai4ns]

Hey There,
I've been doing a lot of research on this topic but I just couldn't find the information that may help.

So the situation that is happening:
In my 120 Gal tank but something really odd is happening - one of my clowns ALWAYS dies (and the same one lives) and I just can't figure out why would this be happening? From what I see clowns have gotten on well as they always swim & hide together and the other tank members seem to be quite happy with their presence.

I have double checked the water and everything seems to be where it should be. I'm hoping someone can help me as currently the clown is dying and just breathing really heavy and struggling to get off the bottom of the tank.

Currently I have 2 clownies & 2 tangs (blue & unicorn) in a BB tank with a few snails & hermits.

If anyone could help me on this I will be very grateful!

Did it died and you brought it back to live then it died again?
New fish is the stressed, sicker fish. Likely not eating and chased by resident fish. You put in unhealthy fish, it get abuse by the other clown and fish. New fish is much more likely to died than fish have been there for a time.
Get healthy fish and QT him until he is healthy, eating and fat, then add him in. Then you don't have to keep bring him back to live.

Minh, he only brings it back to life by buying a new one. All of his new ones are the ones dying. I think you are correct, the healthy ones are killing the new ones.

What kind of clowns? If they are maroons it is common as they are hard to pair once one is established.

I am just been funny.
ai4ns,
you just need healthy clown and quarantine until they are eating and healthy before you put him into the tank.
