Maybe the shock of temp. change when you release them ;float then in the bag you get then in adding a bit of water, let then float to adjust temp. slowly , like an hour, add more water, (adjust the ph) slowly, then release over an hour or so. If your ph is too far off it can send them into shock, same with temp.Or if they have fungus (white spots on them or raggeddy fins) can do them in. Also the shipping shock, weakens their immune system. Try another store. Some stores have sickly fish that never seem to do well. Otherwise, goldfish, ie. carp. do well, they are very hardy as a species.

We keep trying the fish thing and they keep dying! Makes you wonder what's
in the water? Is there a specific type of fish that survive better in water
buckets? Sounds like a silly question, doesn't it? But I am actually
starting to wonder why my fellow horse companions "fishies" are doing just
fine and mine are floating belly up every other day!
It's the simple things in life that really stump ya! Any advice?
