A lot of distributors do that already, they also don’t feed the fish for days to prevent waste during shipmentThis is smart. I didn't think of adding Prime to the bag before. Thanks for posting this.

Thanks for this. It makes sense that most distributors would do this but it's still good to read. A friend who runs an LFS mentioned receiving a bag of fish that were affected by ammonia poisoning. He said it was an awful thing to see and even worse watching them die one by one.A lot of distributors do that already, they also don’t feed the fish for days to prevent waste during shipment
I agree testing salinity would have been a good idea, but I would tend to trust Biota more than I would a lfs. Also, even if the shipping salinity was lower than 1.024 he acclimated it to his tank. I personally doubt salinity was the culprit.Sounds like a salinity problem. If you didn’t check it yourself on arrival then you don’t know the salinity. Don’t take anyone’s word for it, TEST don’t TRUST.
So we found him and I actually bust out my old 75 gallon tank and set up as a quarantine real fast.. it has no filtration on it but better than a bucket, should I leave the power head on all night? Also it seems he won’t eat anything, I’m guessing from the stress
I do have an airstone in front of the powerhead so that it moves it all around..Do you have an air stone in the water?
If not, get that power head up near the top actually sucking in some air and creating bubbles to both move and oxygenate the water.
Lower the air stone. It’s not the bubbles providing the oxygen but rather the air to water mixture as it reaches the surfaceI do have an airstone in front of the powerhead so that it moves it all around..
Not much happens inside the water, it’s mostly the surface agitation when they break the surfaceLower the air stone. It’s not the bubbles providing the oxygen but rather the air to water mixture as it reaches the surface
To tag someone just type an "@" symbol then start typing their username. It will pop up matching usernames. Once you type in enough of their username to see the correct user just click on the their name (or at least this is how it works on my phone).ahhhhh i dont know how to tag properly but Jay Hemdall is the best guy to ask
