When you spend the kind of money a quality FH costs you might just change your mind...;)

Point taken. If serious money was spent I would have had that guy stuffed and water proofed and put him in the tank anyways if the revival hadn't worked.
 
i know those flowers are quite expensive, and i would try to do the same thing-i dont know if i could do it for hours though lol-so kudos to you!

i would try to revive any animal if i thought it stood a chance-i just cant stand by and watch it die knowing i could have helped it.

now, we only need to perfect cpr on fish lol.. kidding!

The fish I saved was my latest FH from Thailand. The fish in my avatar. It cost too must to let it die. When I got the fish it didn't breathe for almost an hour. If you guys thinks this is too must to rescue one of your fish then I feel bad for your fish... I'm surprised at all the - comments.

The fish from overseas has to go to a transhipper first. There are import taxes and licences and other BS to deal with. The fish then get a break from there bag and hang out with the transhipper a day or so then they get reshipped to you. Usually it will cost about 100 bucks to get a fish shipped from a transhipper on the west coast to the east coast.
 
I've heard the term before but just what is a transhipper and what does it do ?

Transhippers have all of the licences and permits in order to get wildlife from other countries. They have to go to the airport to get the fish and have it inspected to make sure no illegal fish or animals are trying to get smuggled in. They are our link to fish from other countries.
