One thing to make sure is that all the pumps are on and circulating water. Odd to lose fish from much more than the basics of water movement and temp/salinity. So as long as there isn't a pool of...

I definitely have. My Bariene Tang is by far the favourite in my tank. I've made all other livestock purchases around the one fish. It's the reason I only have one tang in my tank, so that he...
