Will it arrive before 12??

I really should have had it delivered to the hub. Can’t trust anyone to deliver on time anymore.

Well it’s here. Got here seconds before 12. Does not look good though. Swimming upside down. How worried should I be?

If it’s swimming it could be acting dead.
Is that a kuiteri?

I messed up...
Could have been even worse but I tried to carefully pour it back into a bag in my sink so I could temp acclimate but as I poured the bag slipped and the fish almost went down the drain. I got it though and put it in the sump. It managed to bury itself just fine though.
I really hope it's OK. It is really beautiful.

considering she managed to burry herself, it’s likely she will be alright :)
My Fingers are crossed for you

That’s a cool idea! What are the steps for that? I kinda want to try that?

Yes I’m still traumatized from my tang incident lol
I mean it’s pretty self-explanatory. You float the fish in the sump while simultaneously having a drip line from the DT down to the bag. I use binder clips to clip it to the sides.

Poor girl is wearing the cone of shame lol
Boy
He had to have a tumor removed. He’s fine though!

He looks like a girl because he had cancer as a puppy and it’s a genital cancer so…..

He’s found out how to use the cone to his advantage.

No idea is better than dead.

I’m guessing with a tamarin it could easily be several days?

How’s the wrasse?!
Still going. I saw it come out. It looks very tired but it swam upright and normally. It has a massive amount of copepods to eat in there and looks fairly plump. It's preconditioned so getting to eat shouldn't be too hard if it can recover well enough. I'm guessing 50/50 at this point.

Tamarins are like the nano species IME. They tend to be skittish and a pain in the first few days to a month (sometimes longer) however once they get established into the tank and know you they’re easy as pie.
