Horrible Shipment from Live Aquaria

[Terri Caton]

I have not had issues with this vendor in the past. However, I received a shipment 2 days ago. First, one fish was missing completely. Second, the Yellow Tang I purchased looked like it came from a fish concentration camp! This pic doesn't even show how bad. You can see every rib and the internal organs. Why in the world would a vendor ship livestock like this? I'm a sucker though and cannot just give it up. Now I feel like I'm it's best fighting chance.

I would contact them ASAP and voice your concerns. That's not typical of LA

Already done. We'll see what they say tomorrow.

Is it the captive-bred yellow tang? If it is, it is because it just enter adult stage.
I got same when I buy it, the color takes two month to development (They not mention it, en....) But for me it is a good experience to see how it transfer from transparent lavar to an adult yellow tang

If it is not captive-bred one.... I don't know...... good luck bro :)
