I thought id ask the peeps on here on the loses that youve had from starting a marine tank and the reason (if known!)

Mine since sep 04 are

2 hi fin banded gobies (true pair! ) - harassed by my damsels, 1 jumped into weir and got trapped in the matala matting, the other i found on the floor a couple of days later

A wheelers watchman goby - its been missing the last week presumed dead no idea why

And today one of my clowns seems to disapeared

some snails - due to my hermits deciding they would like a holiday home then changing their mind , and 2 that ive given my mantis

leon.

From october 03, i've lost a female clown, a blue cheek goby and a boxing shrimp. The only one i have a reason for is the shrimp, i had a bit of a nitrite scare when i moved my tank

I lost my Occilarius (sp?) Clown, I'm pretty sure my CBS snuffed him out.

My first Fuzzy Dwarf that I ordered online didn't ever seem to look healthy before he died after a week.

One of my Chromis decided the floor looked more comfortable and jumped out of the tank 1 day....

This is all since Thanksgiving

middle of 04,

12 guppies (food for crab)
1 green ?
1 yellow tail damsel
many more, too many to think of

about a week ago i bought a yellow tang, but, the darn thing loved kissing the hermit crab only to have its brains eaten out 2 days later

if anyone cant get a fish to live, pick up a hermit crab off the coast and it will live through anything, had him since the begining.

My only loss since I started this awesome hobby in January of 04.

1- Pearly Jawfish. Two days after I got it no less.

I really dont think it was my fault either. I went back to the LFS and the rest were gone. I think the LFS got screwed from wherever they came from. Because they normally have great fish that are well taken care of.

Plus I know I didnt mess up because the other fish introduced with him was perfectly fine from day one.

I've been extremely lucky with my nano tank. From the beginning (end of Sept '04), I've lost...

Yellow polyps

1 snail - don't know what happened, I was on vacation, but it was a big snail so the hermit crabs most likely didn't get him.

That's it! No fish or other polyps or inverts have been lost
