i have recently been given a tropical fish tank by a friend who now has a beautiful marine tank! I had always admired the tank and am getting on fairly well with it. when we got it there was a Scat (6inch) a shark cat (6 inch) and a pleco (4inch). we added lots more fish, unfortunately we have had a couple of deaths, a chiclid (4 inch) just keeled over one day was ok for a day then died then a red clawed crab! all teh otehrs seem to be ok and are doind well, there is a figure 8 puffer, 2 kissing guarmis, 2 small chiclids, a yellow one(don't know what it is) an albino silver barb, a green barb and a clown loach. my questions are:

1) Any ideas about the deaths in a seemingly fine mature tank (ammonia, ph etc all fine)

2) is it ok that there are freshwater and brackish mixed ( i have heard it is ok!, but worried anyway!

Thanks and Hello to you all!
