  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
sorry for your loss. i don't think i'm ever going to buy fish shipped to my house unless i really want it or theres a huge price gap between them and my lfs.

Don't be worried guys.. From what I've read the best thing to do with big fish is just grab them and throw them in the water. Don't waste your time acclimating. Apparently ammonia is more toxic in warmer water so it's a bad idea to acclimate them to warmer water.

It's one of those damned if you do/damned if you don't situations. There is no written instructions as for what to do in such a situation. Just gotta go with what your gut thinks will help.

It looks like small bag/not much room for air to me. But that would be just from what I see.

Aw man.. Sorry for the fish loss midasman.. From the pix he looked to be awesome. But don't give up on the shipping/mail ordering of fish.

I personally think him showing up dead was a bad fluke. If you order from the same place insist to have a good handler pack the next one up. They'll understand, appriciate you repeat business and they don't want to have you get a dead fish either!

It will turn out great!
 
smaller fish ship much better than bigger fish, anything over 4 inches I usually do not pursue
