Clown Can't seem to hold steadu

It seems like out of every 3 fish I get for my tank one dies or something. And I have tried different stores as well , it's the same issues.

It sounds like you may have a lingering disease problem in your tank. When this happens the best option is to hit the "reset button" by QT/treating all your fish, and going fallow (fishless) for 76 days in the DT to starve any diseases out of there.

I would treat all your fish with copper (ex. Coppersafe) for 30 days and then hit them with 2 rounds of Prazipro (in order to deworm). Treat them as if they are "new fish" coming from a suspected diseased environment.

Thank you Humblefish. I will definitely do that. I was thinking it was because my tank was cycling, but it's been long after that I'm having these recurring problems.

I'm going to say this, even though it's been disputed for millennia now. I've had luck controlling disease with a UV sterilizer. I got o e twice the needed size and used a medium flow pump to push it. I left it connected to my current setup for 45 days after I introduced the only fish in the system. He got ich the next week it was gone, it came back then it was gone for good. Some of that success I'm sure was because he's a wrasse and sheds a heavy slime coat. But In the past, it worked on several Niger triggers and my other fish in the FOWLR I had going. Quarantine is the best option for treatment. But In a pinch I'd grab a sterilizer.
