Long time no see!!!Mornin.
Yeh depression and busy plus the bonus of a chopped up finger. Sorry for that.Long time no see!!!
- Is the leopard wrasse in a holding tank with sand in it? If no, then I don't think waiting more days will help, as they destress in the sand.Hey Cafe need help with wrasse, specifically leopard wrasse.
Been wanting one but afraid to buy online and getting a doa or soon after. Read all about the shipping stress because of lack of sand.
Was at lfs today while they were unboxing and low and behold, a purty leopard baby, about 2 inches still in bag temp floating. I observed for a few minutes while owner looked at the papers to see what she was gonna cost. Colors looked vibrant, just like online photos, all fins looked good and intact, but after swimming around looking to hide, she'd find the lowest corner and kind of float awkward and tilt for a few seconds. Then she's swim off to look for cover and repeat.
This just normal shipping stress? I know after netting some of my fish play dead, and some act weird in the bucket and list sideways similarly. Talked with owner, mentioned my concern, he says he hasn't ordered one in years, so he's not super experienced. He did say he'll mark it as "sold", and for me to come check back in a few days and decide if I want to buy.
I have gotten 99% of my fish here. And I've been really lucky. How long should I wait to see how it's doing?
Leopards are simply the best. I'd take a good look at her if she makes it through the night and ask about seeing her eat. Then take her home!Reading about all the shipping stress is what's causing my hesitation. I was able to get really close and I didn't know to inspect the mouth specifically, but I checked over the whole fish to look for any obvious sign of damage or disease. I did not see anything that looked odd other than the still leaning positioning.
Yes going straight into sand. That was the only fish he had floating in that one tank, others were snails and hermits. So shouldn't be stressed from tankmates.
He will offer food to fish if I want to check that they're eating. And it was still in bag when I saw, but uses buckets and drips when needed. I've talked with him before about this fish, possibly why he ordered it, he knows I'm a frequent buyer, I was in last week asking about a Melanurus wrasse.
Planning on checking Saturday, owner takes Friday off and although they can still sell fish, I'd prefer to deal with him.Leopards are simply the best. I'd take a good look at her if she makes it through the night and ask about seeing her eat. Then take her home!
