Okay guys....im trying to figure this out.....ive lost TWO fish in the past month and a half. Where the hell are they going.......They didnt jump out.....my levels havent been going up.......Im pretty sure they are dying.....but I dont get how. My levels are all low....so nothing should be happening. I just lost my 6 line wrasse......just dissapeared....I lost a scooter blenny a month ago. My clowns were the first fish I bought.......and they are still swimming strong.....knock on wood. The clean up crew had to have devoured these fish too.....NO remains at all, but with two starfish an army of 75+ nassarious snails.....40 blue leg/red leg hermits and 4 turbo snails.....I guess its plausible they died and the levels stayed down enough to not spike...Thoughts? Help?

Thanks guys. Well when one door shuts another one opens......fish ideas? I now have 2 clowns. A 29 is hard to shop for in the saltwater fish department. Maybe a goby and pistol shrimp to go with it....I dont know. Ideas would be helpful though. Thanks!

snowflake eel maybe................ive always loved em, but not sure how they would react with my big crab..........might be clash of the titans till someones dead

get a hardy fish as the clowns will be territorial and might bet up on a new comer

couple three chromis ?

big fat carpet nem?

haha ok so the ppl at the fish store told me that the strawberry pseudochromis i bought would b aggressive towards other fish, even to fish 3x its size... ha dudes a lil winnie.... i was going to say damsels but u started a whole bunch of coral stuff right? yeah im thinkin a goby would b ur best bet.. unless you can find an angelfish that will b happy in a 29. There is a full grown one at my lfs that is maybe 1.25 in ...

Im kinda leaning towards a goby and pistol shrimp. OR the chromis. I wanted some chromis anyways.....maybe a dart fish or scissor tail goby.........they are sweet.
