My money is on the stress. Some fish just do not adapt well to being taken out of the wild and shipped all over the world and pressure changes and bad water conditions. I think if people were in those conditions not many of us would last.

These are gorgeous fish and I don't want to give up on them so I'm going to ask the LFS owner where they got their fish from if lucky they are tank bred.

I have a thread up on reef central on this and from what I'm getting it has nothing to do with stress but the chromis just killing eachother. People say you need large fish that scare the chromis into schooling together so they do not attack eachother

hahahah lol, so they are the backstabbing kind of friends. well i dont know if i could keep any then because im not planning on any big fish unless you would count a flame angel as big

Highly doubt it. I have a pair of maroons and they still kill each other off

hmmm, what about a yellow tang. the aggression may not be there but the size sure is
