    I ordered loads of fish from the trop co and half of the fish they sent were the wrong ones and they were in such bad condition and they were so skinny and unhealthy and all died within a few days and my tank was well established and had fish in it and I’ve been keeping fish for 11 years so I do have experience, I probably won’t be ordering from them again

    I have 5 pea puffers in my community tank - each of their personalities are very different and I spend hours watching them !!! I’d love to see a breeding video - congratulations on your new additions ( I also had mine from the same company ) 💚

    I've bought fish from four different sellers on eBay. Two of them are shit hot and I've bought from them multiple times. The other two were packaged with very little care and as a result will not get my business again. So, is ordering online good, or bad? Both.
    By the way, PSA to anyone selling fish online: STOP USING SHITTY ELASTIC BANDS TO SEAL THE BAGS.

    • @AquariumAdventures
      @AquariumAdventures  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have a couple on how I QT Discus, and have talked about what I do for other fish - long story short - I monitor, rather than medicate (not to say medicating by standard is wrong) unless there is something obviously needing attention when fish come in, I like to leave them to it.

  • @heatherwanderer777
    @heatherwanderer777 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hard to tell from a video, but its possible one of them had a spot of white on its tail. I'm certain you'll medicate them if needed and you'll be able to see them a lot better then we can :) Looks like its going to be a lively and interesting to tank to have!

    • @AquariumAdventures

      Possible - they are quite elusive at the moment but I can't see any white spot, will keep an eye out though.

      @@AquariumAdventures well the important thing is they made it through shipping and being transferred without puffing up! A little stress related ick might not be outside the expectations, since the heat packs weren't warm anymore. Cute little buggers. Can't wait to see their little personalities come out!

    I loved the video I live in Kent and I have been to tropco a coupe of time as you can visit 3 days a week they have a good selection of fish lots are small but they do have some really good ones I also love how all the tanks are on sponge filters and they dip their nets every time they catch fish so I like it keep up the grate work

  • @Caveman5.11
    @Caveman5.11 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    First off mate, great honest videos you put up! How are the new puffers getting on? Tropco is open to the public Friday Saturday and Monday for you to visit and collect from and I believe they send deliveries out Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday. Great selection available and the guys there are extremely friendly and have a wealth of knowledge. The new fish room is really quite impressive. The packaging in my experience is great, retained heat very well and is much better for the environment than styrofoam.

    Most of my fish came from Tropco. You can actually go there and choose your fish yourself on Fridays and Saturdays if you want to from over a thousand tanks! It's a great place to visit but the fish room is like a furnace!
