As I read so many posts asking the same question in different forms " why did my....... die? I am now working at one of my favorite fish stores Tropi-quatics in Lombard IL and hear the same question. Well here is a thought SLOOOOOW DOOOWWWN. How many people even on this site have been sacrificing one fish after another? Mistakes happen, parasites, disease, power outages, broken heaters, and quirky fish but how many other times is it too much too fast and driving the Bio load crazy? Just because you have room and can afford 10-15 fish doesn't mean add them in the same day. Some of the life we try to keep in our living room dies in days and weeks but lives decades in the wild. An example is anemones If you can't keep one 5 yrs or more don't buy them. Don't buy a fish just because its cool, pretty, aggressive, or everyone on the web says you should. Read, ask questions, and most of all be prepared. Don't buy a fish if the store can't tell you its diet.. Would buy a car if the salesman/dealer couldn't tell you what kind of gas it runs on? This hobby takes time and Patience the tanks that hold up and last are the ones put together slowly. I hate this conversation:
" What do you have in your tank?"
" Well I had a _____and it died what else can I put in?"
"How about_____?
"No they die too."
"How about_______?"
"No I had one for 3 weeks and it died"
The conversation goes like this for 10 minutes and at this point the true answer is you aren't trying enough and should take the tank down. My own wife would tell her daughters before she met me "
on't get attached to the fish they die." This while she keeps 3 goldfish in a bowl. I am not trying to sound like a know it all or hurt anyones feelings I just want to see this hobby grow and expand. But killing fish and spending big money to do so won't allow the growth to happen. 10 - 15 years ago in a store I used to manage the staff would take bets as to which tanks would be garage sale fodder first. If we don't slow down and educate ourselves it will still be like that today and at what costs to the reefs and planet? I have an idea/suggestion starting today don't think your tank is stable or ready fro more additions until you can go 3 months without a death by any means. Then add lightly and wait 3 months see if the deaths slow down or stop. Also Check feeding schedules, check water parameters more often,and most of all show Patience. I love this hobby and this site, There are members hear that amaze, dazzle and inspire me. Let's push for more education, Lets force ourselves to slow down and lead by example. This hobby is so much fun when you are successful. Let yourself enjoy your work even if it is one healthy inhabitant for a long while.
Well if you hung on this far I thank you and hope everyone still will listen and not think I am a lunatic.
