your lfs should have them its a tube that has a nozzel on the end that lets you drip the water like a drip every few seconds so what ever your buying has time to slowly acclimate to the water how long was it alive?did it start to bleach?did you ever feed it?

This thread makes my head hurt. Is it that difficult to use complete sentences and proper punctuation? You'll get a lot more help if your posts are easier to read.
