Drip acclimation is the best method for fish! Get one of these for yourself!
Sorry for the loss

Best and most efficient way to acclimate new fish into a system IMO
Also... would not stray away from the idea of setting up a QT tank.. talk about that in this weeks upload on my channel

I just watched and thank you.. It helps a lot.
Plus i was at a couple LFS today looking for the filefish and one place had one but did not look so good llus there was a dead fish with him in the tank. So I ended up going to the next LFS and they had a good looking one with one other fish who looked healthy. So some good tips in your video.

Glad it's going better for you now. Didn't see you mention anything about testing the bag water ...
I test bag water salinity. It lets me know how long the drip acclimation needs to be.
