    Last week i added 6 green chromis to my tank, they seemed to be healthy and doing well. All of a sudden one died, next day another and again today another one. Three days in a row, three fish! Everything else seems to be doing alright, which consist of a yellow tang, 2 clowns, blue damsel, coral banded, anenome,assortment of snails, and some clams. Any idea why the green chromis would be dieing off, and only the green chromis. Thanks and good luck:confused::confused:

    are they bullying each other... chromis will stress out and kill the weakest ones around them

    water parms are fine, could possibly be the bullying, although I haven't noticed it. Thought they were good schooling fish?

    If by blue damsel you are talking about a Blue Devil Damsel, I would say he may be the culprit.
