when a fish is shipped to you you need to check ph and temp plus salinity of the water drip acclimate in a container till those readings match your tank then add the fish to your tank, I feel acclimation isn't a timed process and a hour and a half may have been too long but not sure since we have no input on the water the fish was shipped in there is not much u can do now
He already told you, here it is once again... "you need to check ph and temp plus salinity of the water drip acclimate in a container till those readings match your tank then add the fish to your tank" it all depends what the previous tank level levels where. If its was an stablished fish the acclimation would take less than a fish coming from wholesale. Thats just an example.
It just depends on how different the bag water is to the tank water. If they are the same then 15 mins of temp acclimation is needed. If they are different in all aspects (ph, salinity, nh3, temp) then it will take more time. Time also depends how much water there is to adjust. If it's 2 gallons of bag water, then it will take longer than time to adjust something less.

The ornate I have liked playing in the bubbles from an airstone, which made it look like she was floating or bobbing for air. First night I found her on her back gasping, ended up being that she was just sleeping funny. A few days later she found the sand and has been going in at night ever since.
hopefully with little improvements daily your fish will make it and be normal by the end of the week. I doubt they sent you a visibly sick fish so I wouldn't rush to put in meds yet, it's just getting use to the tank.
So how much was the total for a kuiters? You had to pay shipping for the replacements right?
