Some fish are more sensitive than others....I may be wrong but I'd think the biggest would be the first to go

Very nice collection btw.

Thanks, and yes for some reason when i was acclimatizing them the large one seems to take the longest to come around. i had to hold him for sometime....gently moving him back and forth...dont know what else i could have done..i spent 2 hours with him.

Sounds like you did the best you could. Sometimes you just can't win. They are beautiful and very large. Great tank.
