Just got my shipment from Ocean State Aquatics today of 4 Spangeld Mono PB and Silver Arowana. 3 PB and Arowana are doing very well in their new environment. One PB is very sluggish and breathing hard. Hope he makes it cuz these guys look great. Can't wait to see the color change in these guys. Hope pellets and krill will bring out good colors. Anyone have some advice for the PB that is struggling?

Scott from OSA is very great to work with and very knowledgeable. Can't wait til these guys are ready for there first feeding in new environment. Gonna feed them pellets and not live since I've had some issues with feeding live in my 150g tank. I think I will give them til tomorrow and try to feed. Don't want to push them in their new environment. Is this a good idea or give them some food tonight? Will try to post some updates of their growth.

I'd wait till tomorrow there's a good chance they won't eat right away. Some fish do. It usually takes a little while too get them on pellets, especially if they were eating something different at OSA. As far as the sluggish bass just watch him. The first day he could just be stressed. Just make sure he doesn't get worse. It's awesome getting new batch of fish.

That is what they had them labeled as. I'm sure they are just mono's but they have a lot of spangling (speckles) on fins. I'm new to the fish hobby but seem to have become obsessed with the hobby and learning as I go. Don't know all the species of PB. I think they look very good though.
