all my fish died and i tested my water everything was perfect, i had my fish in it for about 6 days and did not let them sit in the bag before putting them in the tank water, i jsut put them in not thinking about it... could the shock of water change killed them 6 days later... the pet store says that will do it and was most likly the cause? any ideas?
Native Fish died

The stress from not acclimating them would have killed them the first day. Most likley some kind of parasite or disease. What kind of fish are we talking about?

game fish LMB sunnies i did a parasite cure.. that was not it, the guy at the fish store said sometimes it will take them that lock to die from the shock
shouldn't take that long to die from accimilation. You started treating them without knowing what's wrong with them?
Parasite treatment is standard quarantine procedure for any new fish. It rarely causes death.
Who that lock? Fish that lock? What is this supposed to mean?
Are you sure there wasn't ammonia building up over those six days? Any temperature spikes that could have deoxygenated the water?
That stinks because I had to get rid of a white crappy last night, he was in with my green pumpkin and 3 lmb, he wasn't swimming alot you could tell he was stressed, as soon as I saw the 1st 3 ich bumps he was out!
Unfortunately I didn't have an available quarantine tank, I couldn't risk the other fish getting it, they where to small to deal with a treatment.
I hate opening that clove oil.

You said you tested your water and it was perfect...that is literaly no help...what exactly were your ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels? What temp is the tank at?
