Your lights may be raising the temperature on that tank considerably, based on size. Also, if you are not changing water frequently, your fish will die. That is a very small SW aquarium.

do you know your water parameters?
how did you cycle the tank?
what kind of fish have you tried so far?

thanks for the reply. all i know is, the normal temperature that im having right now is 82 F, when i drop some ice bottles, it decreases to 78F. i dont have any idea on the right temp. I change the water weekly.

Before, i have long nose butterfly,clown trigger fish, clown anemone fish and more. they are like 12-15 creatures last monday. Now, "ill attach a picture".

i regularly turn off the lights after 10 hrs. thanks, ill try to change the water after 2-3 days.:) btw. my aquarium is a nano cube type. can you please suggest some types of fishes that are strong and can last for long? like the strip blue in the picture. thanks a bunch!:)
 
First off. The striped one in the picture is a Koran Angel. Second, your tank is too small for the fish you are talking about. You will need at least a 180 gallon tank for the angel. Your tank is good for a couple of neon gobies,or clown gobies,and a couple of cleaner shrimp. Temperature on that small of a tank will allways flucuate rapidly because of it's size. Thats why your fish are dying. They need much more room, and the tank gets way too hot. Try getting a larger tank.
 
thanks for that info.i see. korean angel. thanks for that=) now im going to look for those creatures in the market. Will the cleaner shrimp eat or kill the other fishes? .. im still thinking of getting a bigger tank but i dont have a good place for it to be displayed yet. for the mean while, ill stick on this tank first but can you teach me on how to easily manage the temperature so that it wont change rapidly?
 
to control temperature of a tank that gets hot you will either need a chiller or place it somewhere in a room that doesn't get too warm. And nowhere will it will get sunlight.
