I felt like it was an appropriate answer to your question.

what cause the fish the death of the fish?

generally a combination of bright light stress and starvation

Improper collection / decompression issues I think is the most common issue. Which will inevitably cause stress, likely starvation and possibly swim blader issues.

Eating almost singlehandedly dispels thT issue.... Rit if he is picking up yours he's off to a better start than any I've seen or heard. That video on your Facebook page is exciting!
