Ok. so i found out why it died. and my second one died as well not a week after i bought him. my lugals, is out of my tank, so cant be that. second, they both molted after they died. third, i had a stake out. so in conclusion, my lantern bass picked him off (both probably) right after they finished molting and that made them easy pickings. so i think im going to return my lantern bass to my LFS for another shrimp friendly fish. hes killed 2 shrimp and my blue chromis. so im getting to the endo f my wire with him. i have a maroon white striped clown, a lantern bass, and a high fin banded goby with pistol shrimp and a starry blenny (that eats mysis.??!?!). any suggestions on what to get as another fish. i also might state i have a 30g tank. thx

Good detective work!

THX. well now im down a chromis, and 2 cleaners (50 bucks for noobies) :tongue2: and neways i am left with a maroon striped clown, peaceful as can be, and the goby made it as well as a pistol shrimp. today i took back clancy(my old lantern bass) and told them, my lfs was pretty worried so they gave me 20 bucks for him and a 15% off on my next two fish. that made me kind of happy :) so i bough a sea hare to rid my hair algae and a sea cucumber as well as an emerald crab. i dont know what to get now for my tank i think im going to not buy any more shrimp. but as far as fish go, what do you guys think is good. and i know your going to tell me to get what i like. but i LOVE FISH! i cant get enough so anything i will most undoubtedly find amazing. so with that said...1, 2, 3 GO!
fav fish
wrasses?
pygmy angels?
firefish?
chromis?
anything else?
o and i was at the lfs and saw a snowflake eel, i kind of want him. good idea or no?

you need a cleaner shrimp, just to clean up the mess from the cleaner shrimp. irronic!

right. well i was thinking of getting another one but my lfs didnt have any in stock. soooo yea. plus the bad mojo from my previous two shrimp kinda gets me worried again. im not to sure on what to do.

how about some type of fairy wrasse ??

thats what i was thinking but thers just so dang many i dont know which one, i been looking at liveaquaria.com all day at them all, was thinking sixline but its very common, iwant a wrasse thats flasy and rare but under 60 bucks cuz i am a college kid and moneys tight

I love my sixline. Not only is he cool looking he is always out and about.

the sixline would also be a decent choice, but if you are looking for a not so common ... check this guy out ...
