ok i am 3 for 6 in the last 6 months....

first i had a foxface die
a week later a damsel died
this morning its a diamond goby...

all three of them were in the same corner of the tank... i ahve checked all my water its all fine...i went a head and did a 10 gal water change (thats all the saltwater i had)

any ideas on what to look for.

my tank is a 90 gal with about 90 lbs of rock...two powerheads and a wet dry filter.

Did they stop eating? Marks, lesions, sunken bellies or spots on fish? How long in the tank? Did you quarantine? If so, how long? How far apart between first and last death? Did all fish come from LFS?

If no external signs hard to say for sure. Not likely a common disease though if they were quarntined, eating good/healthy, unless you added something else to the tank that introduced a problem.

ifoundnemo,

I make comments such as the following (especially in the 'new to the hobby forum) to help - I'm not being mean. When you create a thread such as the one you did people don't want to reply because there is not enough info. How long has your tank been set up? How long have you had the fish? When you say you checked your water, what does "all fine" mean? Fine to a reefer and fine to a FOWLR enthusiast mean different things. How often do you do water changes? Get my point? There could be a million different theories as to why your fish are dying. If you could give a little more info, it may help invoke responses from the readers. Hope this helps.
