Hopefully it's not ammonia build up on the bag and he lives this time dde01
Nat, heres what i feed each of my tanks and the fish ive got in them-
37g:
1 flame angel
1 valentini puffer
1 Purple fire fish pair
1 Starry blenny
Foods fed-
Emerald entree frozen- monday, wednsday.
Mysis shrimp- friday
Nori- sunday
20g:
2 ocellaris clowns
1 yellow watchman goby
1 starry blenny
Foods fed-
Emerald entree frozen- every other day
Brine shrimp- every other day
NLS pellets- 2 pellets a week
Omega 1 shrimp pellet- once a week for the goby
3g pico:
Black clown goby
Foods fed-
Brine shrimp- fed daily
Also depends on what fish youve got, for instance a tang would need nori and other greens. (of course, you coudnt keep a tang in a 65g.
As i said, it starts building up after 30mins.
Thanks for all the great info I'm planning to have
-3 chromis
-2 ocellaris clowns
-1 valentini puffer
-1spot Foxface
-maybe coral beauty or flame angel
-urchins
-assorted snails
Sounds cool, what are your dimensions?
But if I take him out of the bag after 40 minutes and into a tank without a huge build up of ammonia, why would he die in the tank and not the bag?
He has to adjust to the tank, add ammonia into the equation and boom... Youve got a dead fish.

1 hours still would be enough to build up a high enough amount of ammonia.
Maybe get 3 more chromis and only drip for 20 minutes. See how that goes? Or maybe 1 as a test.
Ammonia doesn't build up nearly that quickly in water. The fish waste needs time to break down before it gets converted into ammonia. I am absolutely positive that it's not an ammonia spike in the bag.
Have you tested the parameters of the LFS water?
What is your source water?
Have you checked for chloramines? (normal ro/di doesn't remove them)
This is very odd...sounds like he is being poisoned (oil seal break) but I'm no pro!
May be mr X will chime in, he seems to know a heck of a lot about SW fish
I used windex to clean the outside glass but I sprayed it on the paper and am 100% sure none got inside
