    The camera really helps show all the detail of the fish which makes them look even BETTER.

    Absolutely true that it is important to try and get fish quickly through the post. People forget that damage from ammonia can leave permanent damage to a fish's gills.

    New fish! New little fish! New cute little fish! (That's me jumping up and down and yelling in my brain from excitement, but making sure not to scare them.) They're already coloring up. This tank's going to be amazing, especially watching them grow and mature. Yipee!

  • @rachelh1452

    Wow, these guys are super fun to watch! Their quick schooling darting behavior is adorable! Love this tank and looking forward to watching then mature and find their space.

    I remember the time you got your first shipment of sardine cichlids and how they just disappeared into the rockwork, it was so disappointing to see them acting abnormally. I think that you had a bad supplier or something.
    However this shipment rocks! Nice perky fish, tight little schools and eating in front of you! This will be an awesome tank, I'm so glad you set this up :)
    Next tank ... Asian blackwater? Or even a cryptocorne tank with sparkling gourami, rasboras and some loaches?

    For Dutch people Dutch law says that every Dutch breeder or shop that sells animals has a minimal 6 months garanty.That means that ubtill 6 months after buying and receiving the animals including aquatics animals, by law are given a new animal or the money back without the buyer needing to prove that it was sick and or had defects that are not caused by the buyer.Including dead on arrival.
    After 6 months the buyer needs to prove that he pr she didn t cause illness, defect or death of the animal.
    If bought from a fishkeeper that doesn t have a permit then you as buyer need to proof you didn t cause the illness ,defect or death and/or couldn t have known that it had defects and or illnesses when bought.
    While the animal first shown sjgns of illness or defects you need to call and ot mail the shop or breerder before treatment or euthenize it.To give the seller a opprrtunity to offer money back or to give the animal back to treat ut for you at their costs or give you another new healthy animal
