whoever shipped those to you was not bright at all. the problem with them being in the same water is o2 depletion and the risk of one death killing all the others. a f-king bucket!! :furious::evil: kind of makes you wish you had the money to fly to cali. catch a cab to his house and smack some common sense to him. doesnt it?

Don't ever buy fish from this seller again. He does not know how to ship fish or he is too lazy or too cheap to do it correctly. Look at that picture...they look like freakin' Sardines they way they are piled on top of one another. I just can't believe that someone would put that many 5"-6" fish in a small container and expect them to live for 24 hrs. For future reference Mark, always ask the Seller how he/she ships their fish. Make sure that they only put one fish per bag. The bag should be at least doubled and sealed with pure oxygen.

The use of the Breather Bags is a great way of shipping fish. All water, no air to slosh the fish and stress them, and oxygen in...co2 out...They are great as far as shipping long distance goes! I prefer to use them over poly any day...I ship fish to my mom in Alaska, and it take 4-5 days to get there...and I have only had issues with shipping one time, and thats because the USPS managed to literally FLATTEN the box:furious:, and popped all the bags. Makes me wonder what they had stacked on my box....but really...a BUCKET What was the guy thinking?!?! In all my years (going on 13 now) of shipping fish..I have NEVER seen or heard of someone using a BUCKET to ship fish...someone slap the guy PLEASE!:furious:

[madehtsobi]

wow! just wow...

amazing the fish are still alive...

good luck to u!

[mark razmandi]

they are showing some interest in food but still not really eating...hoping for the best

[Roujin]

Hope everything works out, Mark. I agree with you in trying to resolve this matter offline first.

[madehtsobi]

they are showing some interest in food but still not really eating...hoping for the best

prolly still stressed...getting use to surroundings too...

[TaTeR ToT]

mark, what are you feeding them?

whenever i got in wc geos from wrapps i would always start them on live brine shrimp, live ghost shrimp, and live red wrigglers from petsmart.

get them eating with some live food and then slowly work them over to nls 1mm cichlid formula, the best way i have found to get them to take the cichlid frmula was to soak it in a small container of tank water and add alittle seachem entice, then feed it to them.

seeing how this seller shipped them to you, i would have quarintined them for atleast 2 weeks by themselves in a 20g.

i would honestly do that whenever getting new fish.

geos aint easy to comeby and they arent cheap for good ones.

so dont risk your whole collection.

[smk]

i too have to say WTH on the bucket never even heard of such blatant disrespect for the fish and you i second LMRC on breathers i think its the only way to go
