i have 2-90 gallon tanks.i ordered 6 fish from swf,3 for each tank. all fish arrived alive. i drip acclimated them all for 3.5 hours. all of them were doing fine in the tank.then the second day the vagabond butterfly was dead,and i noticed the hawian spotted puffer wasnt as lively as he was the first day.then the 3rd day day the puffer was dead.the other 4 fish seem to be doing fine.the other fish that was in the tank didnt bother the new fish.the chemicals in the tank seem fine,ph-8.2 ammonia-0 nitrites-0 nitrates-30.do you think theres something wrong,or is it maybe just the shipment of the fish.any info would be helpful thanks

nitrates seemed 10 above what i hear is best and thats 20 but thats a really small thing for the fish to die from =s the two fish that died are in the same tank ? and the others are fine? o.o
