Basically came dead :( Could he pull through?

[Angler]

My big Ornate was nipping at him, so I moved him to his own tank. The tank is running and cycled, I just had to remove some crayfish.

I put an airstone in the tank, salt, and melafix. He is laying on the sand belly up

He's still breathing though.

Personally... I wouldnt of moved him from the tank you put him in. It just causes more stress (FYI for future). I would of moved everything else or added some kind of devider

No DOA policy. I purchased it from a private seller and we had it shipped through a Vendor. I knew I was taking a risk, but damn

Yes it sucks balls. Oh well.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm trying to build a small group of Cichla to grow out, but I still only have two. I ordered 2 Azuls a few weeks ago and one was killed. Now this dang Orino. Lesson learned for me here is make sure fish are shipped by someone who you are certain will get the job done right.
