So I put the deposit down on the manueli

[greenerinks]

So following up with the batch of manueli that was recently imported, I decided to get one and have my supplier grow it out in the meantime as I set up another new tank or move some fish around. My supplier showed me the dead on arrival fish from this batch and I was blown away. Take a look at this... Such a shame!!

Congrats on the booking.

Really sad to see such pics. I had seen giant sized rare plecos that didn't make it thru the transportation by my supplier over here.

But but but....they come in 2 sizes of choice over there for you! Tell us you booked a big one.

Yes I did I preorder a 15-16cm one.. Just don't know when I'm going to take delivery lol told my supplier to take care of it for me for now. Hahaha

Im not surprised. Mannys are the most fragile out of piranhas especially at smaller sizes.....they stress easy

Manuellis are notoriously difficult to ship
