I moved my fish now they appear dead

This morning I transported my Niger trigger , huma huma trigger , brown grouper and a damsel back to my house which is about a mile away. I used a big tub and put alot of the water from the tank they were in in the tub. From the time I put them in the tub till I got home and started the acclamation was about 15 minutes. I had a lid on the tub so they would not jump out. When I opened the lid every fish was floating except the grouper the triggers appear to have a little life but the damsel is dead. What happened?

what was the tote used for before you transported them? maybe something was in the tote that "bleed" into the water. test the water from the tote if you can.. see what the parameters are

yea... must of been something in that tub that killed them. Transporting them 15 minutes with a lid on will not kill them, they travel for many hours in a small bag from where they are caught/shipped from.....
sorry to hear

I agree I washed the tub out with warm water before use. The brown grouper made it and the huma trigger that appeared dead came back to life but the Niger trigger and the damsel are dead. Crazy fish you just never know
