Dead fish

[sdroll]

Help. I have 4 fish in a relatively new tank. Male and female clownfish and fire fish and a hi fin banded goby with his shrimp. I find the male clownfish with tail missing then he is acting not well and disappeared then find female dead no signs of being attacked . Can't find body of male clownfish. Fire fish I have never seen him being aggressive and the hibfin goby saw him nip once the fire fish but he normally just hangs out at the entrance of his hole.. I can't figure out why I have two dead clownfish. No nitrate no ammonia and 10ppm nitrate. 32g biocube

Goby my suspect
Fire fish hides frequently until food appears
Assure ammonia-salinity-nitrates and ph not elevated

the shrimp might be the reason why you can't find the dead body of the male clown fish. But the clowns might be sick or have some disease to begin with.

The first clown I would blame on the other clown, but both dying complicates things. I can’t really see a firefish or a high fin goby doing any real damage. How recently were all fish added? Were they quarantined?
