I have a 25 gal with live rock and this set up was purchased by my wife as a gift. A gift that was in trouble when I came home with it set up. I have only a 1 1/2 inch Skunk Clown Had 1 purple Psuedo and 2 green chromis .The Chromis died before I got home to see gift. I purchased 4 Chromis last week they were dead two days later they were very small Clown was picking at them never found any of the dead fish. We think He killed them but not shure. Can't get Clown out of tank unless i tear all rock out he hides. What can I put in with him?
Who can live with him?

If your tank is only a month old, you're adding fish too quickly too it. That's more likely what is causing your problems. Give your tank time to adjust to changes in it. Fresh water fish are much more adapted to change. Salt water life has evolved in an environment which changes very little, night and day, season after season, even decade after decade. You need to make changes to your tank as slow as possible. Adding four fish at a time to a 25 gallon is going to mess things up.
If you are looking to add something to the clown, I'd recommend a cleaner shrimp, or if you want a fish, a blue neon goby. They're tank bread and pretty hardy.

I agree with Shagsbeard. A month old tank isn't even completely cycled yet. Another thing to keep in mind, you added 4 Chromis to the tank. That's too many fish for that size tank to begin with....also, adding that many at a time WAY overloaded the biofiltration capacity. Even when the tank is fully mature, you'll want to keep less than 4 fish total in it.
