Hi,
I have a 27 gallon tank, I do regular water changes, and keep the
balance right on. There is no sign of red slime or anything else.
Over the last 3 days, I had 3 fish die. Don't know why. One had been
in the tank for over 8 months, the others less, but pretty long.
Haven't introduced anything in about 2 months. The Anenome, shrimp,
lobster, tang, and snails are all doing fine, at least they seem to
be.
I checked all the levels, and they are ritht on. I don't know what
else to look for. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've never
had this happen befoer.
Thanks.

It was an angel first, then a clown, both looked fine, and then they
died. No marks on them showing disease, or claw marks, etc. The last
to die was a pseudo chromis (sp?), It looked like it had been slighly
eaten, but I'm pretty sure it was post mortem. It looked like it was
going to die for a couple days, it hid and didn't eat.

By my count, I had less than 12 inches of fish in a 27 gallon tank,
don't know how to measure an anenome, plus the shrimp and lobster are
small. I had more than that in there a few years ago.
