I ordered 2x 7" Indo Tigers and both packages were punctured and one of the Dats is in a very bad condition. It's been over 48 hrs now and he still lays on its side. To aid his health, I put 2 air stones to in there just incase my 40gallon wet dry filter isn't producing enough oxygen..(lol!)
A local pet store recommended that I use amoxicillin... is this a good idea to use this antibiotic?

Anyhow, 1 of the guys are fine. But the I've heard of people recieving Tigers in worst case than my situation and that they pull through and recover... please tell me my fish will be ok?.....

Now its your turn to share your similar stories...
 
umm... bump?
 
DO NOT use antibiotics, un less you know what u r treating. Then there is question of do u know how to administer it?

any pics of the new arrivals?
 
yeah 2nd on those pics^^ usually when i was in this situation the fish did not last, almost all the time they would die. i just had a NTT i got from a local fish store that died and it was in a tank...

i would say you would have more luck because your fish is larger, the larger the better they can handle that stress. but i have even ordered and the shipper had sedated the fish and it turned out one of my best collection.

Take a drive to Seattle check out some fish. When you come back I'm sure she'll be fine:chillpill:

Hopefully by summer I will fill my tank up with the stock I want..
