sad to hear of all the loss. Dunno why they die off, perhaps due to exhaustion or something... ah well i guess somethings are better off left in the natural environment

Its rather Harsh on Them....we can never compare our tank water to real sea water.It contains more for the fishes needs.Just imagine throwing ourselves thrown in to another planet where there's only oxygen and food.
