Question anything special you guys do when introducing new fish?

obviously i know about acclimation, i use the drip acclimation method (the one from here, i follow the rules very carefully) for all fish i buy, not just sensitive ones. i have bought 6 corys over the last two weeks, in groups of three. however, one fish from each group has died within a few days. after the acclimation process i don't do anything different in my tank. is there anything special you guys do to help new fish? anything helps. thanks guys!

Default Re: anything special you guys do when introducing new fish?

I use the drip method myself as well and it works well so I stick w/it. I just use an air hose w/a knot in it which I use to regulate how fast I want the drip to go. But I just heard about the AccliMate, which I will be ordering soon to see how well it works.
