i have 2 10gal tanks 1 for my blue lobster and one for my orange, inside that is a mini tank for my baby white one.every time i put in rosys or feeder goldfish now they all die within a hour. i cant figure out why the fish look perfectly normal at the store and i let them aklamate for 15 to 20 mins but within a hour they die. ots not stress cause my lobsters are pretty chill can anyone help? i did a test strip everything seems normal but my general hardness is high ?
 
Perhaps the feeders have a different water temperature than the lobsters. For all I know,a goldie's water temp is around 70*F (I THINK..). Maybe even acclamating it isn't the thing... seems like the fish are still shocked when they go in the water..
 
When you acclimatize them do you also add tank water to the bag or only acclimatize the water temperature?
 
Also always check the fish bag water in PH.
 
i used to always have some fish and feeder goldfish/rosy minnows in for some reason one day anytime i added them they would start to die in the first hour. it could be shock ? but i doubt it but my lobsters look so deepressed i feel bad
