some bad luck!

I havent posted any questions in awhile because everything was going great and I didnt have any, but within three days i lost all three fish. My flasher wrasse found the one little hole in my hood and made a suicide leap, and the night that happened my clowns got ich and were dead by the end of the next night. I've never seen ich spread and kill that quickly. Anyways, I'm thinking I'm going to go with new fish. How does this sound...
1 Clark's Clown
1 Scott's Fairy Wrasse (small enough for 46g?)
1 Orchid Dottyback
1 Flame Angel.
So how do these fish sound? Will they work together well? Thanks for any help!

Just a quick question..how long has it been since they all died?

If it was marine velvet and not ich...its probably still in the tank .....You NEED to wait at least a month before putting anything else in there.

If it was ich, then you have to wait 6-8 weeks for all the eggs to hatch, larvae and any adult parasites left in the tank to die off.

I agree with the others - if you have something going on with the tank let it sit fallow (fishless) for a couple of months. Probably not the answer you want to hear, but it will save you some grief down-the-road...

Yea that sucks, but it makes since. So how much should I feed my hermit crabs? Should I just make a few flakes a day sink to the bottom for them?

Yeah.. you can feed them once or twice a week...if there's algae in the tank, they should be fine too.
