So I just received forktail rainbow fish shipped in the mail and half of them died within hours of trying to acclimate them. I am obviously very disappointed. I tried drip acclimating them using a fluval breeder box. I also added ammono lock during the process. Why did this happen? I am also confused about the different processes for acclimation. Is plop and drop better than drip acclimation? I can't seem to keep fish alive and honestly feel like quitting after this. I had a similar issue of a mass die off after getting fish shipped a few months ago. What am I doing wrong?
