oups.com... I'm so glad I mentioned them. Now you can spend what ya save on more
fish, hehe. = )~

==============================
Yeparoo! Pet Supermarket just got a new shipment of fish in today. They
were unpacking them when I called. I don't go the first day because the poor
little guys have got to be really stressed out. I'll go tomorrow and spend
some $$$$. :-)))

They're replacing the cory, plus I'm buying one or two more. I hope they
got in more pearls so I can get a nice male for the 2 girls. Then I'll go
from there..... I have to get off here and do the 1st water change on the
55g as the neon's are now eating fine.

Interesting. The act of buying fish the day they arrive is a mixed
lot. I personally prefer to buy fish as soon as they arrive, if they
will dump out all fish except what I want and let my chosen fish stay
in the same bag in the shipped water. Hard to do with most FW fish as
they usually have a heap of them in the same bag, but with salt they
often more thannot pack one or two to a bag, so its not a problem
there.

I have them add a shot of amquel to neutralize any ammonia that rises
once the bag is opened, and carry them home. IO prefer to keep my fish
out of most LFS water if I can help it. My frieind who is a manager
at Petco will order me fish and when the fish gets ordered make a
request for "x" number or such and such to be packed
individually....... When fish arrive I am normaly there before the
truck delivers, so I just get my bagged fish and pay and
leave.........

Lots of folks only temp acclimate, I acclimate with water form tank as
well as temp, by use of a IV drip set over a period of 45 minutes to
one hour. I use bottom halfs of plastic juice containers to place fish
with bagged water in, and slowly dirp water form tank into the juice
container. Once its up a bit, I syphon a good portion of it out,
leaving just enough water to keep fish happy...........and repeat as
often as needed until a period of 45 minutes to an hour is up, net the
fish and place in the QT tank......Glad you got a replacement, or will
be getting a replacement. Good to hear the neons are eating as well,.
