    Default Are saltwater fish pretty durable?

    Iansaltyfish123 was wondering how fragile or tough saltwater fish can be, and what type of things can kill them- other than being crushed by a rock, jumping out of a tank, ect.

    Anyone up for some discusion on this topic?? Think its a pretty good one to discuss, to tell you the truth.

    I got a couple good ones-

    Stress-

    Banging on a tank, hands in the tank, loud music ect- can lead to stress, which can kill a fish, or make it more suseptable to disease.

    Bad aclimation- can also cause stress.

    overstocking/stocking before the natural processes of a salt water tank are complete.- can also cause stress.
