I am not expert myself, but if all kind of fish end up dead in your tank.. I am thinking some kind of poison in the water or bacteria and also make sure there is no Real Dead Decorative of coral, starfish or anything in the tank that from a craft store.. those thing will leach poison or chemical into tank water

items to check for
What parameters are you measuring?
Do you have any plastic or metal items in there that might be leaching chemicals into the tank? Are you treating your water with buffers or using reverse osmosis? On the other hand, you can get some wicked damsels and there is a fair variety of them.

What about your oxygen levels? Do you have enough powerheads and water movement at the top of the water? Maybe youare not getting enough gas exchange and they are suffocating. When do they die? At night or day?

I'd recommend seeing if the LFS will allow you to place a deposit on the fish, then let them stay at the store for a week before you bring them home for quarantine. Sometimes the brand new arivals at the LFS are experiencing lots of trauma from shipping and need a bit of extra time to recover before they're shipped a second time to a tank at your house.
Plus, it's better for it to die a day later at the LFS, than a tank at your house. Takes yourself out of the equation in it's death, and saves you money. Most places will let you re-apply the deposit to another fish.

You need to give us a bit more information. And don't always trust a test kit. Borrow or buy a different brand for ammonia and try that. What kind of water are you using. What sort of symptoms do the fish show before they die.
Check your RO filters. Are they clogged and letting chlorine and other chemicals in. Do a chlorine test. Hope some of this helps

Is it just new fish that die or all fish in the tank? Also what other livestock is in there? As this is in the reef forum, I was curious if you had corals ect that were doing better than your fish stock.
Edit #1 Hey, I just read apost of yours in this thread http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...575#post240575 where you did a expanding styrofoam backdrop using krylon paint. As far as I know none of this stuff isn't made for marine use and who knows if it's safe for your livestock. You could be poisoning your fish. Edit #2 I very highly suspect this is killing your fish. Just looked up the ingredients of kylon fusion paint. Here see for yourself. http://www.paintdocs.com/webmsds/web...C=724504025184 Last edited by Scavenger; 03-14-2007 at 03:01 AM. Reason: fixed link
