I ordered 2 ebjd that were in the 2 -3 inch range and they were shipped over night. I'm pretty sure the vendor packed them between 6 -7 pm..they arrived the next day at about 12pm.. the night they were shipped it was 50 degrees or lower and the fish arrived in cold water. I'm not sure how cold but both fish were alive. The bigger of the 2 of them seems fine but the other came out of the bag with visible clouding in one eye.. they have now been in the tank for 4 days and the one that came with the cloudy eye now has 2 cloudy eyes. His eyes just look very dark and he just looks in kinda bad shape . Any suggestions?? Fish are eating like crazy20180521_184522.jpg 20180521_184408.jpg 20180521_184358.jpg
 
Live foods (good for young ebjd, as prepared often kills them when young), and frequent water changes and maybe epsom salt

Erythromycin is the first choice for eye infections. You might not need it yet but it's good to have around and you can ignore the expiration dates for dry medications.

Did you contact seller and ask them why they thought it would be a good idea to ship with no heat packs? Not cool for a fish that's known to be very sensitive.

I was very surprised actually ..I did let him know. It's a very experienced vendor to. The fish seem ok at this point but if they didn't get delivered to my house at 12 they probably would of both been dead
