I order two Azuls from IA, and a couple of days after being in the tank, one was unexplicably floating belly up. The other Azul turned out fine.
The second one was an Orino I bought from a fellow MFKer, and it was shipped to me from a vendor. I won't ever get fish shipped from that vendor again.

My first ever Kelberi died while I was transporting it in a five gallon bucket.It was only about six or eight inches at the time but it must have been too long of a trip in that bucket.
Put two hybrids in the outside pond when I went on vacation last summer. Came back and they were fine. Two months later one jumped out and the other did the same a month later. Both were about 8".
I lost my last group of growouts due to a poweroutage. And once one died it all went down hill from there. And ive lost a couple before that because I wanted some pbass so bad, but did not do enough research and jumped the gun. LOL thats why im waiting to reload on some pbass
