Looking for some possible causes of lavender tang dying hours after arrival. First time ordering fish online and I received my first few in today. Lavender Tang, Firefish, Flame Angel, Carpenters Wrasse.
Temperature and drip acclimated them to 1.019, which is what they arrived at and placed them into a new QT tank. I have been using the hybrid tank transfer method on my QT. All appeared healthy at the time, only to find the tang dead after a couple of hours.
Not sure if it was a fish issue or possible an issue with shipping, but just figured I’d see if others have had similar issues in the past and possible how to prevent anything like this from happening in the future.
