I have been ordering fish on line for many years. It is funny or sad however you want to look at it. Sometimes I receive a fish and everything is perfect, gets here before 10:30, Temp is perfect, Bag is fully inflatable. And yet the fish doesn’t make it. Yesterday’s Imperator was somehow a miracle. Came in late due to the truck breaking down, obviously thrown from one truck to another. At the time of delivery it was 85 degrees here in San Antonio, already 80 at lunch. Leaking with the bag only half full due to a hole. Fish laying on its side in the bag, and smelled bad from ammonia. And yet after acclimation it was swimming around and actually ate last night in its temporary home.
Its home for the next 5 weeks will be a 100 gallon Rubbermaid tub with 70 pounds of seasoned live rock, two foam filters, power head, and two heaters before adding to my 310.
