Well first things first... we bought a house so i have to do alot of fish moving...
of all the fish that i have it was the pbass that gave the hardest time!!
1st, it was a hassle trying to catch it!
2nd, it always pinches holes on the plastics im using.
(i dont have another cooler, coz my arowana is in there)
3rd, so i run off to canadian tire and bought a medium sized cooler (returned it after btw)
so there he is, i didnt use aerators on both coolers coz i know a 30 min stay in there would be ok.
so here we come in the new house with the tank waiting... (not even cycled i think) i opened the cooler what do i see? an upside down pbass... i was so irked!
i thought hes dead, but i saw gills moving very slowly i quickly pick it up and put his face against the power head... for 30 or more minutes...
i tried my very best to save him running his gills on the powerhead pushing him slowly back and forth... he fought and fought i see even tho he was upside down for a couple of time after releasing him...
He finally got his balance after 45 minutes probably in the tank. And i was so happy and relieved. Well, i just wanted to share my experience and hopefully some1 can learn something from it. I did not know pbass do not do very well on moving and transportation. (my Arowana had no problems at all)
Sorry for the very long story i was out of MFK for a week and i felt i had missed so much. Anyway, thanks God it was a happy ending for my pbass...
thank u for fighting Ozzy... i almost lost you. here he is now..
