To make a long story short and get to the videos, my brother ordered a hybrid tang and the seller made a mistake, and sent it to the wrong address down in San Diego. My brother called me to pick it up and put it in my qt. When i got the fish home he was in bad shape from being in a popped bag with no oxygen and loosing water into the ice chest. I was 100 percent sure that he would be dead in a hour or so. I went ahead and acclimated him to my qt and gave him fishy mouth to mouth by making him swim and putting his gills at the exit of my chiller hose. He started flapping his fins slowly after 2 hours. Four or so hours later he is kind of swimming around by him self and i really hope he pulls through. The seller is making this right by sending my brother a new fish and told me if i can save it then he is mine. The seller is also send us a couple colonies to lighten our troubles. I am very pleased with http://www.zoacollector.com, by making up for his mistake ten fold even through the shipping company is partially to blame for the condition of the package! Now if i can only keep this fish alive!
This is how he came in...
Acclimation...
Fishy O2 delivery...
Trying to swim!
Getting a little better!
I am curious if fish can have brain damage due to lack of oxygen and loose fine motor control? He couldn't even move at first and now he seems to be learning to swim again or cant control his body fully? I guess we will have to wait and see, thanks for watching!
