    I have never had a fish that was acclimated and put into a tank die the next day. The fish appeared to be healthy and came from a lfs that quarantines every fish and it even ate a piece of krill that I dropped in the bucket while acclimating then I got home this morning and he was stuck on the side of my powerhead. No idea what happend didn't see any aggression towards him or anything no bite marks nothing and params test fine what do you think killed this guy? I think I will probably end up with a niger instead, but was really liking the blue jaw. Any ideas?

    Hate to hear about that.But it happens a lot more than people think.
    Probably a combination of the stresses from being netted,moved,and then a new enviroment.
