Fish in Copper

[hammadkatiyar]

Here in middle east, mostly LFS use copper for new fishes when shipment comes to them in order to avoid the loss of fish. Even they start eating after few days in copper based water ..........but when i bring that fish and introduce her in my tank, she dies in a week or two. Even they eat also during these living days ........please advise how to treat such fishes which comes from copper based water specially from LFS..... Even before buying the fsh, i see her eating in LFS store, no disease and healthy as well.......
When i ask LFS to give me the fish without copper, they advise me to take fish from the bag directly, when shipment arrives. please also advise me how to treat such fishes as well which comes directly from the shipper.

Did you acclimate the fish before adding to your tank?

Off course. Atleast for 45 to 60 minutes

Hmm ok...well my LFS uses copper and I've never had a problem so I was just making sure. What kind of fish was it?

Oh wow you had three fish that all died? Did you add all of them together or was this over a period of time?
