i have the worst possible luck with shipments. So the bag came in and it was leaking through all 3 bags and the water level barely covered him. He was going crazy jumping in the bag. What are the chances of him surviving now? He stopped spiraling and was very weak so i stablized him against the tank wall loosely with glass thing. If he gets his energy back or turns around he can easily get out of it. Heres a video of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNdBIWlwncI
 
I had a guyana ocel that i ordered recently come in looking dead. i put him in some water & he spiraled for a while before eventually swimming normally. i would advise you dont prop him up. & keep him in an area with little or no current. i ended up loosing my guyana but GL to you. what bass is it & where from?

i just have airstones and a sponge filter. Its a spangled occel. It is REALLYY nice it has more spangles than most of the bahias on here that are in the U.S.
