Coral!!!!
SO decided to try out purchasing fish online for the first time. I purchased 5 fish...2 Lyretail Anthias, 2 Engineer Gobies, and one Foxface Rabbitfish.
I setup a 10 gallon QT tank where I planned to QT them for a bit. I woke up on day 2, and found the foxface stuck to the filter. He wasn't dead, but by the next morning he was.
I took his body out and put it in a cup. Some blood actually ran out of his mouth...which greatly concerned me.
I got back home the same day (today) and found the Male Anthias is piss poor shape. A few hours later, and he was also gone...though no blood from him.
The water in the tank all came from my DT...and water quality is good. I am running a 30 gallon HOB filter, with a carbon pack.
Both fish that died were the ones that were also in worst shape when they arrived. I was wondering if the foxface experienced some sort of ruptured organ during shipping?
Let me know guys. This is my first attempt at actually QT'ing fish instead of just dumping them into the DT, and I figured things would go well...
EDIT: Liveaquaria already said they would replace the fish once the warranty was up (to make sure they sent all the fish in need of replacing in one package)...but thats not the point...
