After the last swap I added 4 green cromis to my tank. I currently have 1 yellow tang, 1 blue hippo tang, 2 false percs, 1 royal gamma, 1 engineer goby, 1 yellow tail damsel, 1 cleaner shrimp and 1 coral banned shrimp.
All these guys (with the exception of the coral banded shrimp) have been living together peacefully for over 6 months.
So aclamation goes fine, cromis are schooling.......great.
2 days later the smallest cromis is missing. I remove my filter sock and find him dead, looked to have been beat up pretty bad, small areas look to have been nipbled on.
3 days after that the next smallest cromis is missing, only this time I can't find a body. I'm thinking that whomever killed it, did so and maybe one of the larger nem's got ahold of it, I know the bigger of the two could handle a fish this size, and it stayed closed up the next day, which is what it has done when munching on a silverside in the past.
So who do you think is killing the cromis.
***side note, the 2 lager cromis I got are fine and have bben for the last week, I'm thinking if I go get some more I will pick slightly larger ones like the ones I have now.
