If u don't like it don't buy it.

First off... Was it wild or tank raised?

Did you see it eat at the store? WC cardinals can be hard to get to eat. If they dont eat, they will usually go down hill fast. Always ask to see a fish eat,expecially picky eater, before you buy them!!

I think that one of the owners of Fishes of Eden is a really nice guy named Bernard. He used to work at Beverlys and was extremely helpful and knowledgable. I've run into him several times at different stores in the city and he always remembers me and asks about my tank.

both the bangaii cardinal and the leapord wrasse are sensitive fish that sometimes dont make it through acclimation.

there are so many factors with fish that its hard to say.
did the wrasse come in the day before, if so it may have been to much for him to take for his conditions to change that fast.

and the cardinals, especially wild caught dont fair well in general......

sorry you fish died. but thats part of this hobby, one that we would like to avoid. but it does still happen. it doesnt necessarily mean it was the stores fault.

chef got to tell you I went to age of aquarium and wanted to buy half their livestock just to bring it back to health and sell it off for no profit... that place is really upsetting for me.
