What makes some fish species more difficult then others? The reason why I ask is I have a 125 gallon reef tank that has 3 chromis 2 clowns. I had a bellus angel that went into qt and was fine for 4 weeks then after 3 weeks in the display got sick and died. I also had a sailfin that went into qt for 4 weeks did great healthy transferred to the display and after 5 days got sick and died. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Sorry to hear about the losses. It can be som many variables it's so hard to tell. Some do really poorly from catching/shipping and the stress of it all kills them, other can get a bacteria infection that takes a while to set in bad enough to finally take the fish, others seem to die from lack of feeding, or simply no apparent reason.
