Definatly a possibility of Cyanide caught fish. Hawaii fish are really bad for it, also possibility of copper in the system, we found Angels don't like that.

Cyanide caught from Hawaii, really?? I would have thought (hoped?) Hawaii is the least likely place to find that. I'm very disheartened to hear that it could be going on there.

My QT is a 29g tank with a heater, korallia 1, one of those sponge filters that you hook an air hose too (provides the bubbling) and a bunch of PVC elbows and such. There shouldn't be any copper in the system, the tank itself is used, but I know the guy who used it and it was just used for goldfish, everything else in the tank is new. I've been wondering about the cyanide thing, as the fish have never really looked sick prior to death.

I actually dropped a supplier out there when all the Flame Angels dropped 72 hours after arrival here. My agent no longer uses this company either, as it happened to other LFS also.

Some divers just want to harvest the fish the easiest and most economical way.
