Hi all.. I'm so sad to make this post... Long story short ;
I have ordered a pink streaked wrasse from a fish store in Ontario(I'm in Quebec) the package was ship and delivered in less than 24hours by FedEx overnight. When the package has arrive, I have open it up to find my little wrasse belly up,
with the impression that he was shaken during transport since his bag was lying on its side with soft bags of air which was supposed to fill the void in the box(cause the box was really really too big) but clearly this did not allow the bag to stay in place at all.
And the water in the bag was really cold.. I don't know why but right after taking pic for DOA warranty, I have decided to put the bag floating in my tank just in case.. after a few second he start to breath slowly and heavily.. I have setup a little 2.6g qt tank, fill with my reef water, a piece of live rock from my display, a little Sand bed from drysand I have in stock and an air stone. I had prime in the qt just in case, I have slowly drip acclimated the little guy than put him in the qt.
He barely swim over and there, but mostly laying on the sandbed..
I don't know if I can do anything else to help him to survive
