There is definitely something going on. You need to get to the bottom of it asap. Have you checked your tank at night for massive Eunicid worms that might be picking the fish off? Get a grounding probe for stray voltage. Start a quarrantine procedure for every fish going into the tank. Try feeding them something different. Etc.

There are a tonne of things to do before giving up. I understand giving up after all options have been exhausted. But until then, put your thinking cap on and figure it out.

I would do a quarrantine system for sure. Start it up, see if there is any random deaths. If not, your display has an issue.

Thanks for everyones help. Like I said before, i honestly think its just bad luck. A number of these fish were in not in the same tank so I can rule out the stray voltage. I still have the very first fish I bought(2 clowns). I have just started a frag tank up, took down my old display and am waiting to build my new display which means a whole new tank to stock. I am not going to be stocking it with large fish and my clowns will probably be the biggest fish in there.

Well I'm going to give it another shot. Just bought another bi-color blenny. I really like these fish and was super disappointed with the loss so hopefully this one makes it. If it doesn't then that's it, no more fish for a long while.

Well so far so good, I even went out and bought a Hector goby. It's shy but it's pretty cool looking. I'm really digging these smaller fish.

If I knew how to post them without using the attachment feature and photo bucket. I've used up all my space. I don't have a computer and just use my phone. Any tips?
