I suspect it is just coincidence, did you buy the 2 fish from the same place?
I haven't drip acclimated a fish in years. Most of the fish i buy are shipped to me and usually spend about 18hrs in transit.
I figure the faster they are out of the fouled water in the bag the better so I just float the bag until the temp is equalized and dump the fish into the tank. Haven't lost a fish in the first week yet
