Good news! My rock shipper is reshipping the missing rocks at no cost to me (they are handling UPS who are being, erm, difficult). My fish supplier is issuing a credit. So while stressful, this week is not as bad as it seemed at 7am after being up for 27 hours.
Sorry for your fish loss. I appreciate you remaining positive. I don't know what I would actually do because I love the hobby and my fish are very much my pets. They even have names lol. I was thinking of ordering a long finned oscar but now I have seen this I am kind of weary. Hustle on Fish Pimp.
I have had one hell of a week! Tell me something good that happened in your aquarium this week! Subscribe: th-cam.com/users/msjinkzd My website: msjinkzd.com/stocklist/ My facebook: facebook.com/msjinkzd/ Buy me a coffee: msjinkzd.com/about_msjinkzd/support-our-site/
That has to be awful waiting for a late shipment.The poor little fish.and the money loss.I've never got a fish shipped to me.when I sell Guppies I load the bag's right before I leave and Put a airstone in the bag.I have a Battery air pump.the store's are over a hour from me so I get there asap and stay till they acclimate them.Fish On
So sorry that you're having such a rough week! My shrimp had fry this week! ( our first batch ever!) So that's my good news to share. Hope things get better immediately, if not sooner. :)
Hint. easy way. First check temperature 50-70C and check h2o. water h2o turn blue go dead fish, yellow is neutral water. Best green is clear water help lived fish. bags bottle in tank fish. let 30 min. then fish out bag. add not much salt. salt pitch in tank fish t
Much respect Rachel, thanks for letting us know it's not all eating rainbows and pooping butterflies being a fish keeper. Something good....got my first Albino pleco spawn, only (1) that I see for now, but pretty cool.
I get stressed waiting on my guppy trios (just getting back into the hobby after a four year hiatus). I think my hair would fall out if I was waiting on shipments like that. You need a spa day. You've earned it this week!
What about methylene blue for supporting fish with ammonia burn? I've successfully nursed really dodgy looking fish back to health by boosting their O2 with MB.
She explained halfway thru the video that she used the time in the car driving and the heater to bring them up to temp so she wasent waisting a second to get the fish into fresh water
Hope you're ok Rachel. I had a similar shipping mishap - not at the scale that you had, but it was still horrible to lose half of the fish. Glad to hear the shipper is issuing you a credit. Look forward to hearing how the fish are doing. Take care!
Despite the obvious fatigue, Rachel, your perky, upbeat self still shines through at times. I hope shitty days like that a few and far between for you.
Hi there, I was just wondering, when you do water changes,do you treat the new water before adding or do you let it sit for a few days to get rid of the chemicals added by the water company ?. I've always been advised to set a bucket of water aside for 24hrs prior to adding.
Thanks for sharing. This hobby has so many possible downsides, to go with the stuff we enjoy. Importers carry so much of a risk, and we owe them (you) our thanks for so much hard work and effort.
Bless. Just cannot reiterate strongly enough how greatly I admire the breadth and width of your knowledge. Sincerely. And beyond that, the value of your skills to people who exist across all levels of experience in aquatic management. The advice you offer is always sound and solid and for what it's worth (which I know isn't really a lot) you're one of the few humans on this planet I'd trust 100% to look after my tanks. Which is saying something: I'd have let wolves babysit my kids, and pirates guard the family treasure :o) And are those other fish giant rasboras?
Question not sure if did video on them.or have them i have dwarf gournami not sure spelling lol. I wanna put small piece of driftwood in. What to do to get the driftwood ready.go into the tank and does it make my water greenish brown color. M8ne really clear not sure if worth putting it in.
i have some questions about dwarf gouramis as that will be my next fish i keep so can you teach me a few things rachel i have a 10 gallon was thinking 2 males idk if thats a bad idea but was going to go with a powder blue and the fire red
do you have pictus catfish? i had 3 in a 20 tall that just up and died after 5 years.... also can i over filter water? i use a Fluval 303ghp and 2 power heads for current, and a whisper 800 with biowheel....i have 23 fish and my water is ph of 5.5 to 6.5 and my ppm run around 100 with using RO water... i also have a 18 watt 790 gallon air pump connected to 6 airstones. all for 20 gallon fresh water...BTW. MY WATER HAS ZERO SMELL AND IS CRYSTAL CLEAR, I HONESTLY THIS I COULD DRINK THE WATER..
Sorry if someone asked this but what do you do when you get fish you didn't order? Does the company have you send them back? Are they yours now? Were they supposed to be in someone else's shipment and now they don't have their fish? I'm new too learning about this whole fish business thing my little knowledge I do have comes from Tanked Lol and they make it seem simple
I get irritated, figure out what I was sent, and complain- often grumbling under my breath. It does mean someone else didn't get their fish. I don't send them back. These fish were imported from overseas, shipping twice for that distance and in such crowded bags would be a death sentence.
Rachel, i'm going nuts!My 20 gal long that's been running for a little over 6 months suddenly has a problem. A lot of my fish have started to develop an appearance as if they'd been sprinkled with powder. i've already lost a few in the last 24 hours. I've done 2 water changes (30- 50%)Hoping for the best and that i don't lose ALL my fish after such a long time.I haven't done any thing different lately. Ammonia, i noticed spiked a bit. it had always been at 0 after weekly tests. What is that white powdery look caused by? i don't see any evidence of ammonia burn. i'd like to hear your opinion. Thanks!
Danny's Aquariums you have some amazing fish im jealous! All my fish imported because of the area im in. But im going to fix that and become a seller just watch lol
I hope having a fan all the way in Dubai cheers u up. The concern u have for ur fish is inspirational. Thank u for everything u do for the hobby. Big hug from the desert :) and hope ur fish recover and thrive.
Wow. I am so sorry you had to go through all that, but I am glad to hear that the fish supplier is going to give you a credit. And it's pretty awesome of you to make this video for us in the midst of all that difficulty. I for one really appreciate it. I gotta ask, have you been able to ID the mystery fish that you didn't order?
I think I’d have a heart attack worrying about these fish being shipped. There’s some fish I cannot find in my local stores (like killifish, no one has them) but I’m so scared about the shipping. I mean how far away can I order from with having the fish safely arrive?
wow, you are one calm mama.... i can tell that you care very much for all of your fish, not too many places would goto the length that you did. my hats off to you, and what is even more impressive is your showing your kids that hard work just doesnt mean 9-5 sometimes you have to put in extra hours, again, my hat is off to you!
Why were you putting pieces of it into some of the tanks? Thanks for posting this video. It opened my eyes as to what a business like yours is about. It also shows what a very good fish keeper you are. You're one of my favorite you tubers.
Rachel, Great job !!!!! Could not believe how cool you were with your shipment. You are all about the fish and that is what it takes in our hobby. GREAT JOB !!! Woody
Sorry about the fish. Do the best you can do and keep on keepin' on. Glad for the rock shipment and the credit on the dead fish. At least it wasn't all gloom and doom.
My cherry shrimp also had fry! So, that's my good news. Just curious, what are your thoughts on using methylene blue for ammonia burn? So sorry for your losses :(
UPS is notoriously difficult. I work at a shipping warehouse. There were many occasions where we witnessed UPS drivers throw packages in the truck without regard to the shipper. Granted other companies have issues as well but UPS seems particularly worse.
sorry that you have had a crappy time recently, thanks so much for taking the time to share with us, you work so hard. look forward to the updates, but no pressure.
Your professionalism is exceptional. I really appreciate how calm you stayed during this tough situation! Side note- My 5 yr old daughter walked in and a few minutes in commented "She's really beautiful!" 😊
I am sorry for your difficulties and the loss of the fish. Poor blighters. If it makes you feel any better, I am impressed with your presence of mind to film this and take care of the fish and shrimp all the while. It is a real service to hobbyists to see how a professional handles bad days and learn about what you know to lessen the burden on the animals. You are definitely one-of-a-kind and I mean that with the greatest respect.
sorry for your losses, thanks for the great videos. I am curious about the Microrasbora Kubotai, why don't you breed them? i have had quite a bit of success breeding them myself and was just wondering why you wouldn't be breeding them as well. Take care
I learnt the importance of water changes from you in this video and to persist. I thought medication first but I can see the sense of not doing this first up with stressed fish struggling to survive. Thank you for sharing.
This is why I look up to you. You know when to stay calm and collected in situations like these; a great reminder. Thank you for the learning experience.
Couldn't you take the losses up with the shipper? I mean, when the shipper damages a package, they are responsible for the replacement of the damaged product. Would that also not apply to fish as well?
how to preseve these fish was a great tip. Sorry for he losses. The mystery fish look like shiners. Potential food for Cranky pants and the gar once they pass quarantine? Do yu ever raise fresh water clams? either in your tanks or as part of a sump system?
I love how positive, yet realistic, you are in this difficult situation. Issues of this nature happen sometimes to business owners, but it takes a lot of maturity and understanding to respond to them the way that you did. I can tell you care for these fish, and I'm glad to see that this situation is working itself out, at least financially. Hopefully you don't have to deal with something like this again!
I lost about 200 of my 7yr old established colony of guppies about a month ago. It was SAD. I'm sorry for the times you suffer losses. You have my sympathy, though it was a while back. Because we don't forget, we learn. It Took a while for me to recover. But ppl like you, got me and them through it. I saved about 30. 😁 Hurry up guppies have some fry. thank you for all you do for us honey. 🐟🌱💦🌿🐠💦🍃🐚💦
Best of luck. I'm so sorry you've had such a terrible week with these shipping ordeals. Here's hoping they all pull through! Can't wait to see those Kubotai's go up in your shop!
Racheal, I am so sorry you had to endure this. I especially hate it for the fish. I know it made you sad. You are "wonder woman"! You handled this with such grace. I don't think I could have. You are a rock star in my eyes. My wish for you is only excellent days ahead. Hang in there!
Rachael I loved your video so sad for your losses...question we bought and prepped the tank for 2 Bala sharks now sadly my son had gotten ahold of food and dumped a large amount ..We.tried to get out as soon as possible but hubby did a water change but the next day they were both.dead? overfed? we just had got them . the water was warm butt hubby didn't treat it or test ph he just threw them in(tap water) now another time same thing happened with our.Angel fish..hubby filtered and got most out and they are fine but he.didn't change water..so what do you think.happened,,is it possible they were already sick from the pet store
Rachel, so sorry to here of your loss. I noticed in my tank lastnight my guppies looked so ready to give birth, so I took her out of tank and placed in birthing tank. And sure enough, I woke to about 30 (babies, this morning. just wanted to share some good news :) Im praying for ya, good luck & God bless ~♡~
So sorry this happened to you! :'( You really put things into perspective. It's really eye-opening to see the ups and downs of the hobby. Hope things turn around soon! And I thought I had it bad when all my ludwigia repens died ;"(
Hey Rachel.. I hope the rest of your newcomers settle in with no other issues, I had a shipment of Angelfish I sent to NJ a couple of weeks ago arrive DOA due to shipping delays. 😑 Anyways I was wondering were you get your polyfill from? I want to start using it with my shipments.
Very sorry for your loss! As you suggested I learned from it as well. Have my first ever shipment of live fish due today, least killifish from Zimmerman's, now I really hope all is well there. You handled that as well as anyone could, again, I am sorry and hope it is not replicated anytime soon, if ever, Gregg
Good news! My rock shipper is reshipping the missing rocks at no cost to me (they are handling UPS who are being, erm, difficult). My fish supplier is issuing a credit. So while stressful, this week is not as bad as it seemed at 7am after being up for 27 hours.
A bad day in the fish room beats a good day driving a desk =) Just sayin. Love your vids ya fish []D [] []V[] []D
Sorry for your fish loss. I appreciate you remaining positive. I don't know what I would actually do because I love the hobby and my fish are very much my pets. They even have names lol. I was thinking of ordering a long finned oscar but now I have seen this I am kind of weary. Hustle on Fish Pimp.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! /:
Glad to hear you will getting the missing rocks and credit for those poor fish.
+Martin Lorenzo Oconer Yuzon sorry, I do not
I am sorry. Hitting the thumbs up sort of felt strange today - but SO much respect, support and love to you.
Wow, you've had a rough week, but you've handled it so professionally.
😂😂😂
Even though it's a difficult and stressful day, you are still educating and polite as always. Much love!!! 😆
Rachel, sorry to learn about your bad luck. The concern and care you you gave the fish is awesome. Be strong.
I have had one hell of a week! Tell me something good that happened in your aquarium this week!

+electric water lol. I know a gal who wants a fish building
Rachel O'leary 😂i know a guy who can sort that 😂
congrats, time to buy an airline to ship fish from asia and south america direct to hobbyist
Haha no worries I've an airbus on it free fish for all 😂
Sorry you had to deal with all that mess. Glad to see your update comment. A pimps love is different from the love of a square.
That has to be awful waiting for a late shipment.The poor little fish.and the money loss.I've never got a fish shipped to me.when I sell Guppies I load the bag's right before I leave and Put a airstone in the bag.I have a Battery air pump.the store's are over a hour from me so I get there asap and stay till they acclimate them.Fish On
I like how you just took the fish you didn't order, and put them in a tank. They look cute with their eyes.
I appreciate your optimism. It's hard and frustrating, nothings worst than being excited for fish, and then them showing up dead.
That's awesome that you were willing to lose money in order to save the fish that could be saved. Sorry for your loss.
So sorry that you're having such a rough week!
My shrimp had fry this week!
( our first batch ever!)
So that's my good news to share.
Hope things get better immediately, if not sooner.
:)
+erbadkitten hurray and congrats!
Wdym your fish had fry lol did ya cook em

how does one ship a fish the right way air supply wouldnt it desolve after a certain time
that is why you do 1/3 water to 2/3 air :) Best bet is for overnight service, though often folks have great luck in 2-3 days (and sometimes even more)
I get stressed waiting on my guppy trios (just getting back into the hobby after a four year hiatus). I think my hair would fall out if I was waiting on shipments like that. You need a spa day. You've earned it this week!
What about methylene blue for supporting fish with ammonia burn? I've successfully nursed really dodgy looking fish back to health by boosting their O2 with MB.
But why do you drop the snails like that? Doesn't their shells break :(
+RouRou no, or I wouldn't do it
What was the name of the small fish with the green/jellow stripe? Where you lost 4? I could not understand
Aren't you suppose to let the bag float in the tank so the fish can get use to the temperature difference?
true
Allina Chilafoe there is different ways to let the fish use to the temperature.
She explained halfway thru the video that she used the time in the car driving and the heater to bring them up to temp so she wasent waisting a second to get the fish into fresh water
Hi Rachel. J'm very sorry for what happened to your fish last year. Could you write the name of the caridinas from your video (13:46) please.
Caridina gracilirostrus- pinnochio shrimp
Thank you 👍
Hope you're ok Rachel. I had a similar shipping mishap - not at the scale that you had, but it was still horrible to lose half of the fish. Glad to hear the shipper is issuing you a credit. Look forward to hearing how the fish are doing. Take care!

How do you clean your filters, for example like an aqua clear filter with various things in I️t? Do you take them out and wash them or?
"...he's swimming around like a helicopter...." I really can't :)
"These are the fish I did not order" I couldn't help but laugh 😂
Thanks for sharing. This hobby has so many possible downsides, to go with the stuff we enjoy. Importers carry so much of a risk, and we owe them (you) our thanks for so much hard work and effort.
What is that "polly floss" you cut up and put in the tanks?
I only know poly floss as "fluffy" mechanical filter media. How can that remove ammonia?
Its called poly-filter by poly marine bio
Do you have the dimensions for your 75/55/20 racks. I love them
Bless.

And are those other fish giant rasboras?
+ilookafter thewater giant red tail danios. They are lovely, but quite a surprise lol
Question not sure if did video on them.or have them i have dwarf gournami not sure spelling lol. I wanna put small piece of driftwood in. What to do to get the driftwood ready.go into the tank and does it make my water greenish brown color. M8ne really clear not sure if worth putting it in.
You covered the stressful situation very well, thanks for sharing, sorry it happened :(
I know you have to rush in this case, but don’t they need to be acclimated to the water before they can go into a tank?
what type of fish were they? The green ones, some kind of tetra? they look really cool
I was wondering if you could explain, throwing pcs of polyfil onto the surface of the water? Does that help without flow? Thank you.
It both adsorbs and absorbs impurities and ammonia to prevent any fluctuations for already stressed fish.
What’s the name of the green tetras you showed?
What do you do when your done with a net? Let it dry? Clean it? Throw it away?
+fedor111111111 clean it then air dry

I have a question my
Fish came down with ich and I don't understand how to treat them ive already lost 7 fish
i have some questions about dwarf gouramis as that will be my next fish i keep so can you teach me a few things rachel i have a 10 gallon was thinking 2 males idk if thats a bad idea but was going to go with a powder blue and the fire red
do you have pictus catfish? i had 3 in a 20 tall that just up and died after 5 years....
also can i over filter water? i use a Fluval 303ghp and 2 power heads for current, and a whisper 800 with biowheel....i have 23 fish and my water is ph of 5.5 to 6.5 and my ppm run around 100 with using RO water... i also have a 18 watt 790 gallon air pump connected to 6 airstones. all for 20 gallon fresh water...BTW.

I get irritated, figure out what I was sent, and complain- often grumbling under my breath. It does mean someone else didn't get their fish. I don't send them back. These fish were imported from overseas, shipping twice for that distance and in such crowded bags would be a death sentence.
Is there a reliable site for buying fish in Ontario/Canada ? And what do you use for antibiotics?
Rachel, i'm going nuts!My 20 gal long that's been running for a little over 6 months suddenly has a problem. A lot of my fish have started to develop an appearance as if they'd been sprinkled with powder. i've already lost a few in the last 24 hours. I've done 2 water changes (30- 50%)Hoping for the best and that i don't lose ALL my fish after such a long time.I haven't done any thing different lately.

Ah that sucks Rachel!
I hope next time they'll be alive!
I never have ordered fish before!
Anyways...great video!
*Thumbs up!*
Danny's Aquariums what really!
I hope I can do it at least once! XD!
Danny's Aquariums you have some amazing fish im jealous! All my fish imported because of the area im in. But im going to fix that and become a seller just watch lol
I hope having a fan all the way in Dubai cheers u up. The concern u have for ur fish is inspirational. Thank u for everything u do for the hobby. Big hug from the desert :) and hope ur fish recover and thrive.

who was the airline carrier? did they reimburse you for your loss? will you ever use them again?
what kind of fish is that big one in the back?
Did you find out what the surprise fish are ?
wow, you are one calm mama.... i can tell that you care very much for all of your fish, not too many places would goto the length that you did. my hats off to you, and what is even more impressive is your showing your kids that hard work just doesnt mean 9-5 sometimes you have to put in extra hours, again, my hat is off to you!
The fish you did not order...what did they end up being?
What is the foam material you were putting into the tanks?
it is a chemical media called polyfilter
Why were you putting pieces of it into some of the tanks? Thanks for posting this video. It opened my eyes as to what a business like yours is about. It also shows what a very good fish keeper you are. You're one of my favorite you tubers.
+Michael Wells thanks. I like to add it to tanks to absorb any possible ammonia in between water changes
Rachel,
Great job !!!!! Could not believe how cool you were with your shipment. You are all about the fish and that is what it takes in our hobby. GREAT JOB !!!
Woody
Sorry about the fish.
Do the best you can do and keep on keepin' on.
Glad for the rock shipment and the credit on the dead fish.
At least it wasn't all gloom and doom.
My cherry shrimp also had fry! So, that's my good news. Just curious, what are your thoughts on using methylene blue for ammonia burn? So sorry for your losses :(
+Nicole Vernet I like to use clean water for ammonia burn best.
UPS is notoriously difficult. I work at a shipping warehouse. There were many occasions where we witnessed UPS drivers throw packages in the truck without regard to the shipper. Granted other companies have issues as well but UPS seems particularly worse.
Sorry for your fish loss.
What's that yellow fish? You called it something like Cuba tie? It looked really beautiful.
Microdevario kubotai- Neon green/yellow rasbora
Rachel O'leary wow what a beautiful fish. Will read up on it and hopefully it's possible to get a hold on to here in Sweden.
sorry that you have had a crappy time recently, thanks so much for taking the time to share with us, you work so hard. look forward to the updates, but no pressure.
What was that white stuff that you cut a piece of and throw in tank..
+Siddhant Tyagi it is a chemical media called polyfilter
Your professionalism is exceptional. I really appreciate how calm you stayed during this tough situation! Side note- My 5 yr old daughter walked in and a few minutes in commented "She's really beautiful!" 😊
This was intended for the 200 dead fish video. 🤦🏻♀️
aww, thank you!
have you ever used aqua safe it helps relive stress in the fish
I am sorry for your difficulties and the loss of the fish. Poor blighters. If it makes you feel any better, I am impressed with your presence of mind to film this and take care of the fish and shrimp all the while.

did you figure out what random fish they where?
you handled it well and stayed calm. well done
do you have a website to order from you? I'm looking for some fish in particular some Roseline sharks.
+Francisco Mayorga msjinkzd.com. I don't have any roselines in stock right now though
sorry for your losses, thanks for the great videos. I am curious about the Microrasbora Kubotai, why don't you breed them? i have had quite a bit of success breeding them myself and was just wondering why you wouldn't be breeding them as well. Take care
+Shawn Cotie I do, but mainly in the summer months
Rachel O'leary ok cool, figured that , just making sure I didn't discover something special , so much for that, keep up the great videos and take care
I learnt the importance of water changes from you in this video and to persist. I thought medication first but I can see the sense of not doing this first up with stressed fish struggling to survive. Thank you for sharing.
Push me to the edge
All my fish are dead
😂

This is why I look up to you. You know when to stay calm and collected in situations like these; a great reminder. Thank you for the learning experience.
Couldn't you take the losses up with the shipper? I mean, when the shipper damages a package, they are responsible for the replacement of the damaged product. Would that also not apply to fish as well?
+Torrey Jones no. Not generally
:(
Do they give the money back?
how to preseve these fish was a great tip. Sorry for he losses. The mystery fish look like shiners. Potential food for Cranky pants and the gar once they pass quarantine? Do yu ever raise fresh water clams? either in your tanks or as part of a sump system?
Shaden0040 they also look like large Pearl Danios O.o
I love how positive, yet realistic, you are in this difficult situation. Issues of this nature happen sometimes to business owners, but it takes a lot of maturity and understanding to respond to them the way that you did.

So sorry for your loss! Keep on going, don't be discouraged. You're such a strong woman!
Really bummer about your fish. however what fish is in the background at 16:30 it looks pretty cool
the gar? That is a tropical gar
Yea that was the one it was the first video of yours i watched and thought what a peculiar fish ^^
I lost about 200 of my 7yr old established colony of guppies about a month ago. It was SAD. I'm sorry for the times you suffer losses. You have my sympathy, though it was a while back. Because we don't forget, we learn. It Took a while for me to recover. But ppl like you, got me and them through it. I saved about 30. 😁
Hurry up guppies have some fry. thank you for all you do for us honey. 🐟🌱💦🌿🐠💦🍃🐚💦
Best of luck. I'm so sorry you've had such a terrible week with these shipping ordeals.
Here's hoping they all pull through! Can't wait to see those Kubotai's go up in your shop!
Shouldn't you quarantine be fish and introduce them into the tank slowly? To prevent spending anything to the older fish???
Racheal,
I am so sorry you had to endure this. I especially hate it for the fish. I know it made you sad. You are "wonder woman"!
You handled this with such grace. I don't think I could have.
You are a rock star in my eyes.
My wish for you is only excellent days ahead. Hang in there!
Rachael I loved your video so sad for your losses...question we bought and prepped the tank for 2 Bala sharks now sadly my son had gotten ahold of food and dumped a large amount ..We.tried to get out as soon as possible but hubby did a water change but the next day they were both.dead? overfed? we just had got them . the water was warm butt hubby didn't treat it or test ph he just threw them in(tap water) now another time same thing happened with our.Angel fish..hubby filtered and got most out and they are fine but he.didn't change water..so what do you think.happened,,is it possible they were already sick from the pet store
+allison Smith probably ammonia. Put the food up out of reach
thanKs yes it's out of reach now and what could we have done to fix the ammonia?
Sorry to hear the news. Off topic, but what are the white organisms on the glass in the top left? Thanks and I hope your survivors survive!
Rachel, so sorry to here of your loss. I noticed in my tank lastnight my guppies looked so ready to give birth, so I took her out of tank and placed in birthing tank. And sure enough, I woke to about 30 (babies, this morning. just wanted to share some good news :) Im praying for ya, good luck & God bless ~♡~
"I'd rather lose money ..then prolong the stress of these fish for one more second" that's awesome and I feel exactly the same
did u get to keep the surprise fish ?
yes. considering throwing themin my shellie tank for activity
I'm so sorry about your fish. I hope everything survives the next couple of days.
I'm glad you take care of your fish like that, it's not only stock it's a living thing.

You really put things into perspective. It's really eye-opening to see the ups and downs of the hobby. Hope things turn around soon! And I thought I had it bad when all my ludwigia repens died ;"(
"worrying about the fish first is the most important" love ya :)
Where did you order these fish from?
singapore

+parkj215 then you have new aspirations ;)
Hey Rachel.. I hope the rest of your newcomers settle in with no other issues, I had a shipment of Angelfish I sent to NJ a couple of weeks ago arrive DOA due to shipping delays. 😑 Anyways I was wondering were you get your polyfill from? I want to start using it with my shipments.
+Pauls Planted Aquariums I don't have any place in particular that I am loyal to for buying it
Very sorry for your loss! As you suggested I learned from it as well. Have my first ever shipment of live fish due today, least killifish from Zimmerman's, now I really hope all is well there. You handled that as well as anyone could, again, I am sorry and hope it is not replicated anytime soon, if ever,

Anyone know what she uses to stack her 10 gallons
My husband fabricated my racks for me from plans I drew up. I am pretty lucky to have a welder/fabricator as a husband.
