- This week has been a rough one! My incoming fish were delayed for over 2 days, and the results were not great. I saved a lot, but lost a bunch of fish as well.

I am sorry. Hitting the thumbs up sort of felt strange today - but SO much respect, support and love to you.
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
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.
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.
I have had one hell of a week! Tell me something good that happened in your aquarium this week!

Rachel O'leary I won 88million in the national Lotto😎
+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 😂
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.
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
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!

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!
You covered the stressful situation very well, thanks for sharing, sorry it happened :(
I appreciate your optimism. It's hard and frustrating, nothings worst than being excited for fish, and then them showing up dead.
"These are the fish I did not order" I couldn't help but laugh 😂
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?
+ilookafter thewater giant red tail danios. They are lovely, but quite a surprise lol
"...he's swimming around like a helicopter...." I really can't :)
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.
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 ;"(
Thanks for sharing with us even in this bad time for you. I do hope it works out well for you and you get some much needed rest. Love ya Rachel!
you handled it well and stayed calm. well done
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.
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.
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!
sorry about your problems. If anyone can save them you can. good luck.
hold on strong and hopefully everything goes well ... all the best
You're very level headed! thanks for the video, and for the wisdom with understanding sometimes bad things happen.
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.
You're such an inspiration and I love your style. Looking forward to following your adventures.
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.
That's awesome that you were willing to lose money in order to save the fish that could be saved. Sorry for your loss.
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!
Great video! I'm sorry about the loss of your fish!! Although very stressful in the end everything seems to be working out! Sorry again for your loss!
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.
I'm so sorry about your fish. I hope everything survives the next couple of days.
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?
Love your vídeos and your fishroom . Best of luck .
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
It’s been a year and i am still watching this. I love you and i admire you so much. You’re an amazing fish keeper ❤️
thanks Ashley!
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.
Sorry to see and hear, Rachel. Must have been an awful day 😥 If anyone can save a good amount, you can 👍 Hope everything got sorted out....
thank's for posting and sorry for your lost..love your fish room..cheers from mexico..love your hair btw..
Sorry to hear about your shipment. I live in Guam the middle of Pacific Ocean where fish shipment do at times comes in 3 or 5 days late. I required only breather bags for them. And it works, fish are healthy and eating. The longest shipment was 14 days by post office priority mail. All survived. Wish you the best.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. You handled the situation beautifully and showed great strength in your resolve to save as many as you could. I hope the lasting effects on those little guys aren't too severe and that you do not lose too many more. 💔
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.
Glad you shared what wasn't a great day and i feel for you about your shipping disaster. Fingers crossed on your Borneo suckers!! I really hope they pull through.
+Alan Howard me too. Added a 2nd powered and just did a massive water change. They are eating so there is a chance
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
Push me to the edge
All my fish are dead
😂
🥔
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.
Dang good luck and I hope you can get some rest
the care that you give them will help them and you will learn a lot more form this and you are doing a great job for them
Kudos to you Rachel. You handled the situation so well.
So sorry for your loss! Keep on going, don't be discouraged. You're such a strong woman!
I'm glad you take care of your fish like that, it's not only stock it's a living thing.
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
Love your Green Neon Tetras!!!! Getting a 5 foot tank eventually and they'll be my main schooling fish! I'm eventually looking to purchase at least 30 of these little green/blue beauties!!! 🐟
thanks for being so informative. im not into fishes but your videos are very interesting
Sorry Rachel. Hope your week gets better.
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?
+Aquatasy devario chrostaeniatus
Sorry for the bad luck. But your video was great and telling us how to deal with adversity. Cheers.
So sorry about the losses. At least you are covered. :/
It's amazing there were so many that did make it.
Sorry for the losses, and extra fish you didn't order.. However we do appreciate you showing us the good and bad that comes along with this hobby. Hope the "sardine cichlids" are doing good?
Looking forward to the next video!
I always look farwerd in seeing your vids im sorry to hear and see about your bad week
but i am clad you shared it with us keep on smiling and remember without the bad the good never seems that important take care cant wait to see your update vid on the fish in the shipment
On the brighter side of fishy things:
I did my usual 90% water changes on my tanks on Sunday - and I didn't overfill any of them on to the floor. Spouse very happy!
My Sewllia lineolata sucked onto my hand for a few seconds while I was gravel vacuuming - a first!
One of my albino LF bushy noses (over 3 yrs old), has started to increase its points on its rack (to borrow the deer terminology). Some of the bristles have split into 8 points or more. Looks sooooo cool! The other male has longer bristles, but only 1 or 2 points.
I am sorry for your loss of the fish,I hope that things will turn around for you, l enjoy your videos and it helps me learn more about my own personal hobby ,I keep fish tanks of different types of goldfish,they are my favorite types of aquarium fish. Thanks again for helping us improve our fishes lives.
I have no words, other than thanks for sharing, even it was a bad experience, hurts to see fish loss, but remaining fish can't be in better hands
Unpredictable life of a fish pimp. I hope you get a lot of survivors. Those poor red lungs :( Please keep us updated.
On a happier note, I noticed this morning one of my shrimp is berried. First time!
I feel bad for what happened but so happy that it all ended well for you. Love your vids!
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
I'm so happy to see that you care for the fish. Too many people treat animals as just a means.
I thought this was a great Tuesday Tip. I certainly learned a great deal. So sorry for the loss of the fish that didn't make it. I'm glad they were shipped to you, someone who is knowledgeable enough to minimize the loss and as well as how to treat those fish who are stressed by the extended transport. I hope that you are pleasantly surprised and most of those who don't look well end up perking up and surviving.
Kool looking fish ...sucks it arrived so late I hope most of your fish will make it
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.
Damn! Sorry :(. Good to see your supplier is willing to help with the situation.
I feel your pain Rachel, I've had this happen to me a couple of times. And my focus like yourself, is to save as many fish as possible. Sometimes I do save a lot other times I've lost them.
Poor fishies and poor you :'C Gah, I can't imagine losing that many fish... I hope the survivors heal up quickly
wow that sucks. your doing all you can. im glad you did a video like this. it shows the not so fun side of keeping fish it happens sometimes.
sorry about the fish, you did great and i learned some good pointers thanks
That really sucks, but at least you could save some of the fish. On a brighter note my endler Colony finally started to produce fry again after moving them into my new house them little buggers had me worried there for a while
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. 🐟🌱💦🌿🐠💦🍃🐚💦
"worrying about the fish first is the most important" love ya :)
Love the videos. you really care about your fish and it shows. sorry to hear they were late and some died and got sick. I liked and subscribed !!! I used to work at a pet store and would love to have all those aquariums like you. maybe one day =)
I have a 3,000 gal here in Canada, was looking to build a greenhouse around it and grow coral to resell? Do you think this would work? If it means taking less from the reef I'm willing to try, or even a breeding tank for fresh water.
I am so sorry you are having a hellish week! Positives in my aquarium this week, I seem to have won the battle against pest snails. (Knock on wood!) I now have a very fat dwarf crayfish though. Also my betta blew his first bubble nest after plucking leaves from my favorite fens and sword plants for it. Lucky for him he's super cute!
How horrible :( So sorry for those little guys and you!
What was the name of the small fish with the green/jellow stripe? Where you lost 4? I could not understand
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!
so sorry Rachel for the loss
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.
So sorry for your problem. Thanks for uploading this, keeping our heads up that when dealing with live creatures shits like this bound to happen sometimes, respect to you :)
Sorry to hear of the crappy shipping incident. Guess that happens. I'm sure if anyone can save those fish, you will offer them the best chances for any success.
Hope things get a little smoother.
Cheerz
You make some amasing videos and I love how authentic you are as a person.
Thanks!
Rachel just subbed up sorry about the shipping fiasco but it looks like it all worked out very cool video.
I'm so sorry Rachel, I could cry for you and your poor fishies!!
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!
first video I've ever watched from you... now while it's a sad video I'm incredibly impressed with how professionally you handled the situation whilst educating in the process. Definitely got a new sub (now I'm off to binge your channel while I work on some smithing ) 🙂
Thanks!
Sorry for your loss :/ Its a very unfortunate event, but I'm glad you worked to keep the survivors alive instead of letting them rot alive with the dead ones, not a lot of people see fish as living creatures, but I'm glad you do!
