for those of you who don't know, aquarium adventure is having an anniversary sale, with 40% off regular price of all fish. so i decided to get 3 male cherry barbs. acclimated them as usual (20 mins float, 1 cup of tank water into the bag every 10 mins for 30 mins), and 1 was found dead this morning (less than 24 hrs). this is my first fish death in a long while. rip little guy.
i knew i shouldn't have gotten the barbs, as there were a few dead ones lying on the bottom of the store tank. from now on, i will refrain from impulse buys and think twice before buying from a store like aquarium adventure. i'm also fed up with their customer service and some of their employees' lack of fishkeeping knowledge (the guy who netted the barbs actually didn't know the difference between male and female cherry barbs and was about to use his hands to scoop a fish out of the net when i stopped him).
this is the first and last time i buy fish from them. even their prices are ridiculous.

I'm sorry.
