We've all been there, done that, and tried to do the best for our
fish....sometimes it doesn't work out for reasons beyond our control
- I know a man who says "never blame yourself for deaths in the first
few weeks" - I would second that providing you acclimatized the fish
to your conditions to the best of your ability....ie. didn't just
throw them in which I'm sure you did not.

Good luck with finding some more - I've seen them at my LFS and have
resisted to date....they certainly are very attractive fish
