Why do some of my fish die when I introduce them to my tank
If I'm not mistaken, they get their new fish in on Thursdays or Fridays (ask when they get them), so what you are doing is buying fresh fish that have a higher death rate. What you want to do is go in the day or night before they get new fish and buy those fish, because they have been in the store for almost a week and they have survived.
You also want to look at the condition of their tanks when you buy your fish. Their tanks use a shared filtration system, so if one tank has got a disease then all the tanks are going to have a disease, so you are not going to want to buy fish that week.
By buying fish that have been there for a week you are essentially extending your guarantee by a week that they have been in their store.
While fish is still in the bag ,make a hole in the bag big enough for the water to come in &allow the fish to escape the bag on his own.Also make sure to add stress coat to the bag before placing in the water this will protect the fish from shock.More than likely that is the problem .No matter what you do some fish die from the shock of being moved .but allowing the fish to leave the bag on his own tends to make the transition a little less stressfull rather than just dumping him into a new inviroment after 20 minutes in a bag sitting at the top of the water.Good Luck!
I used to have ten tanks in my room when I was a kid ::: this is just to say that I know enough about fish ::: and I read your question ::: and I believe that I understand what you mean ::: you must have checked everything ::: and now, you are just wondering ::: so ::: yes, there IS a question here ::: why would a fish die like this, for no obvious reason ::: there are two types of answers ::: one, a logical one ::: the other, a mystical one ::: the logical one can only be that you are sold old or tired fish ::: the mystical answer has to be like this:
THE FISH DIE
BECAUSE
IT
WANTS
TO
TELL YOU
SOMETHING
BUT
YOU
CAN'T BE
LISTENING.
You must know
what I am talking about and if you don't
well
that's okay.
Goodluck! =)
