Ok, so today I went down to my LFS and grabbed 3 Golden eel-tail cats because from what I've read they are pretty rare... they look more like Tandanus tandanus to me

anyway, I do the usual acclimate them, they swim around normally for a bit... then they just die.... god damn I'm so broke, so I can't even go down and buy more

Dam that's no good.

Have you got other fish in the tank?

That's unfortunate. Did you do the standard bag in water trick, or try trickle acclimation?

I've really taken to the trickle technique, especially when acclimating brackish water/soft water fish to my harder, alkaline freshwater tanks.

Yeah I usually float the bag, and then poke holes in the bag with a pin to adjust the ph levels.


Ok, so good news is, one of them is alive and looking good now I just need to get a proper ID on it

I would go back where you brought them and ask for replacements, if it's a half decent LFS then they should replace them. Especially since you have other fish in the tank and they are healthy

Most shops should have a after-day policy, say if your fish dies within 3 days of being purchased they should refund the fish(s) lost. some shops have em some dont.

[Dudzy]

Yeah I'll have to try that and see what they say.

Ok, so they didn't give me replacement fish
But I did pick up a nice 2ft Murray Cod
