so I did start a 65G FOWLR tank in my basement and it took 2 weeks to cycle so I ordered some fish from blue zoo aquatics
1 very small lawnmower blenny, 1 purple fire fish and a tiny cardinal
these were suppose to come in yesterday but of course, FedEx forgot to put them on the plane!!! figures...anyhow they got here this morning and I have talked with blue zoo regarding this issue and they sent emergency acclimation procedures which included not floating the bag but immediately start dripping them and make sure the water is agitated frequently
I dripped them for 1 hour but o man was the water freezing, probably around 71 degrees. I managed during the drip to rise it around 75 but didn't want to keep them in that toxic bag water. The cardinal was the worst but is now swimming in the tank but breathing really hard
I saw the blenny who also seemed to be breathing hard but I have had the lights out all day
anyone think they will make it??? I am kind of pissed at FedEx because these are live animals and there is no excuse, even though I will get my money back if they die I did not order fish online to not care if they lived because I would "get a refund"
wish there was a LFS where I could buy fish
