My Lei Aro CAME IN!!!!

[Derpeder]

I shared the pics in the Photo Lounge as well but thought I'd post here as well so it can be discussed

I actually was not able to do the drip method as one of my best friends wife just had a baby boy tonight!!!!! So I've been at the hospital most of the night so I aclimated him old school but he seems to be doing great. Does not seem stressed and eating normally.

Here's the pics

The Tail is a little torn up, I assume thats from the shipping process but i'm not sure. That will get better though.

Well I would say the tail will heal Probably quickly too

I would not however blame shipping for the damage.. rather it would most likely be battles int he tank with mates before shipping

nice little babie. Dont worry about the fins, that will heal in notime.

Congrats on the fine P/U.

The fins will look as good as new in no time.

did he tell u it was gonna be shipped with a ripped up tail? seems kinda odd it was a shock to u afterwards.

either way awesome pickup and as long as its eating, he'll make a great speciman in no time. feed often and feed lots and he'll be a monster in no time. mine is finally taking full sized mini shrimp. no more tearing it up jus for him

That aro looks in a bad shape dude, hope he recovers soon.

Well he seems to be doing good in the tank. He seems calm and is not just darting all around. I just need to keep a close eye on him. I think he'll be fine.

No I wasn't told that he'd be torn up like that. Free fish so I can't really complain. and yeah he's eating. Some crickets as well as some pellets so.

I'll keep you guys updated and If I see anything wierd I'll ask around. Thanks for all your help and its SWEET to finally have an aro!!!!

atleast it was free. cant go wrong with that then. goodluck with him

It will be fine.....pristine water conditions "maybe" a small dash of salt and a temp boost but really.....it looks just fine and dandy and should heal very soon. Awesome looking Lei by the way, how big is the little bugger?

I agree. I'd add some Stress coat as well. IMO It helps heal torn and frayed fins faster.
