once in a lifetime journey... literally

[ewok]

this came to my office around 2.5 weeks ago...

it didn't arrive like exactly like that... but half the water was outside of where it should be... that was after i tore open the box... literally to get to the contents inside...


i nearly fainted... 1 of 4... nearly dead on arrival

but now...

yeah i know what you mean... i don't ever want to have DOAs... it almost seems so sad of a way to go
i added MASSIVE amounts of aeration to the tank and held the fish in front of a power filter blowing water through it's gills for a couple of minutes. i was almost certain it was going to die in an hour or two after arrival. but i'm glad it made it. it's now the tank bully and eats like a pig

bsixxx - the smaller one is still here and has your name on it his big brother will stay with me though haha
