Re: 1st time here

Welcome to RS Bluey~~

Sorry about your clown death What were the water parameters -- Ammonia, NitrIte, nitrAte, PH, temp, salinity? How long has your tank been set up? Other tank inhabitants? Did you notice any spots or rapid breathing prior to its death? .....

Re: 1st time here

It is possible that the fish was sick before you bought it. Keep an eye on your other fish....
