Saltwater Fish are very hard to keep, and it absolutely takes an established aquarium, and not just a tropical aquarium with salt. You have to have special "live" substrate, preferably "live" rock, and all levels of ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and salinity have to be monitored very closely. A saltwater tank is for advance aquarium keepers, and it consumes a lot of time and takes a lot of work. I am sorry for your loss, but there is a lot of information available on the web on how to keep fish. Try getting him a betta or something. A saltwater fish won't ever survive long without a saltwater tank
