Ok, so ive kept peacock bass before and got them out of my LFS and have no problems what so ever. Recently had my 100 gallon tank bare and decided I would go for it again, why not right. So I found some reasonable priced bass online and bought 12 of them (they all arrived in the same bag). First week they ate blood worms and tried some pellets but spit them out. But they were eating so I wasnt worried. Come in over the weekend and two were dead. So I did a WC and then raised the heat to 84-86* as many of you have said in the past. They continued to eat and over the weekend another 7 had died. Moved the remaining fish into a 20 gallon and have been monitoring them. Is it me or was the batch I got just terrible.
Bought them off ebay and the seller was Livekoiforsale.com
I have dealt with ebay before, mostly Mike from Imperial Tropics and he has been awesome including all of the products
 
What's the seller's policy on dead fish? Have you contacted the seller and explained what's happening? Last thing a seller on EB wants is negative customer feedbacks, so he should work something out with you.
 
Give it a little more time, if nothing then file a grievance with EB. If EB doesn't find in your favor, then blast them on their feedback. I've often steered away from EB sellers based on their negative feedbacks per sales volume, and I know a lot of shoppers also do the same. Its a powerful tool against shady vendors

No it has been running. I left it running when I sold off old fish and did routine WC on it as normal.

Ok so this makes me ask a few questions. If you left the tank running were there fish in it? If so how many and for how long? Two If there weren't any fish how long was the tank empty? Also if you continued to do water changes as usual and the bioload decreased greatly then the amount of BB in the filter will decrease. This will basically cause your tank to do a mini cycle or will act as a lightly seeded tank doing an almost new cycle. This could have caused the fish to die.
 
there were zero fish in it when I left it running, And it gone the initial WC when i removed the old fish and left running for maybe a week, two weeks tops.
