I have 4 Damsel and 1 clown which I bring in to my tank when 1st time I set up my tank. But after that I add in new fish all not successful. I tried goby, doctor fish and clown also. All unable to stay in the tank for 2 days. Any advise how shd I overcome this?

You did not mention the size of your tank.

I will assume it's not large. Clowns and damsels once established will generally be quite territorial. Unless u have sufficient tank or hiding space, it sounds like you are around the limit.

By doctor fish, i am assume u mean the cleaner wrasse. That little one was probably doomed from the moment it left the ocean. 90% will never survive in an aquarium. WHEN THE BUYING STOPS, THEN THE KILLING STOPS.

:peace:

totally agree. survival rate of cleaner wrasse is very low in captivity.

Most cleaner wrasse don't survive in captivity, guess your friend was lucky that his ate flakes.

Mine was feeding well on frozen brineshrimp, and kept it for weeks until it jumped out of the tank.. already lost 3 fishes due to jumping..

Everything's sold. Back in 2yrs time.
