Reason of dead

[Onurs]

Hi i bought this fish from my LFS yesterday .its new import came from indo 2 days ago.
i made its accumilation for 6 hour
i put airpump to its container.
but fish has dead 2 hours later after i add him to my tank .
My tank is SPS reef tank and all water parameters are same as NSW.
there was a blood its anus when it dead
What is the reason of death
is this fish catch with cyanide

i made its accumilation for 6 hour

^^This was a mistake, unless you used an ammonia reducer while acclimating. The blood probably came from a ruptured organ. Prolonged ammonia exposure can damage a fish’s gills, and then damage/rupture the liver and kidneys.

Also, did you regulate the temperate during the 6 hour acclimation??

yes i regulated temperate .
and i put zeolith to acclimate container

and i put zeolith to acclimate container

I'm not familiar with this product. Does it say it neutralizes ammonia, chlorine, etc.? Or does it just contain bacteria to jump start a bio-filter?

I agree with this. 6 hours is a very very long time to acclimate. I've never gone over 1 hour and that's if I'm raising the salinity they were shipped in.

Zeolit neutralizes ammonia

Zeolit neutralizes ammonia

Sounds like you took all necessary precautions for a 6 hour acclimation. The only issue with using an ammonia reducer is if copper is in the bag water; mixing the two can increase copper's toxicity. Maybe ask the LFS if they keep their fish in copper.

I've read that adding bubbles to bagged livestock raises the PH very high. . I just drip acclimate my livestock.

Thanks you for answers i learned manyetik New informations in this threat and from your other threats ı have one more question.
What is the Chemiclean formulation of ammonia reducer and What is the reaction formula of ammonia reducer and copper.

What is the Chemiclean formulation of ammonia reducer and What is the reaction formula of ammonia reducer and copper.

Chemiclean is a cyanobacteria remover; Chemipure is just expensive carbon (as far as I am concerned). Chemipure Elite adds in a phosphate remover, similar to GFO I believe.

When copper (especially Cupramine) is mixed with an ammonia reducer (exs. Prime, Amquel), the resulting chemical interaction increases copper's toxicity tenfold. Raising it way above most fish's tolerance level.

Just a side note: the problem with adding air to the acclimation container isn't that it will raise the pH "too high", as in higher than pH we normally find in our tanks. You're not going to get a value of 9, let's say, just by adding air. The problem is the abnormally low pH of the shipping water, by the time it reaches our homes. Adding air will actually bypass the drip acclimation of pH. If you add air, your pH is climbing a lot faster than it would otherwise, which kind of clashes with the premise of acclimation in the first place.... which is to ease the fish into their new environment.
