Turtle's Fairy Tale

[SashimiTurtle]

Live Aquaria customer service is second to none. Phone call and an email confirming the shipping delay has been documented. I don't care what people say about them being owned by PetCo, they are the best...

Fingers crossed they keep the doors open. With DF&S shutting down I wonder how long DD/LA has left...

That just reminded me... sad to see them go I need to see if any of the equipment I need is on closeout.

There was a coupon code that was working on MAP items last week. Not sure if it still works but there was a thread on here somewhere. had something to do with flea and tick yet worked on Radions or Red Sea Tanks. Code 15XRJAN

I didn't have any luck with that.........Rooting for the EEL.

Was the code expired or didn’t work on your items? I assumed they’d figure out they messed something up eventually.

 

[SashimiTurtle]

No delays with the CUC order... I'll just never understand UPS logistics. Why send a package past me 130 miles only to bring it back, then do a circle around me?

Clearwater to Jacksonville
Jacksonville to Greensboro
Greensboro to West Columbia
West Columbia to Sumter
Then from Sumter to me tomorrow.

Latest update with the eel, arrived in West Columbia at 0036 EST. Delivery scheduled by 1200.

 

[SashimiTurtle]

The eel is on its way... my truck had ice on it leaving work at 0630. I really hope those heat packs last longer than 24 hours.

 

[Janci]

I never ordered online but this would stress me out

 

[sfin52]

Ya, let's hope those heat packs hold out. It's good seeing you with an eel again.

 

[Fudsey]

Any word yet?

Schrodinger's eel...

I will say the box and the bag are absolutely HUGE. At least 2 gallons of water in it. No leaks in the bag. Plus the heat pack in the box still had a tiny bit of warmth. Its double or even triple bagged, so I'm about to remove the outer bags and see what we have.

Good luck!

I thought about making you sweat a little...

I cut off not one, not two, but SIX outer bags and 2 light blocking black plastic sleeves. Just to give you refrence of how big this bag is... that is a 10g tank it is sitting in. It takes up half of that tank.

I can't credit LADD enough for how well this eel was packaged.

That is impressive! And in this case, it was absolutely necessary.

Agreed ! !

 

[sfin52]

That's a good looking eel. What kind of eel is that .

Golden dwarf moray. Gymnothorax melatremus

Their color varies from a dark orange with black spots, to a pale cream color with little to no spots. I saw the dotted pattern and bright yellow tail and I had to have this one.

The world seems a little more right now that you have an eel again. Does he get a skull in his tank?

You mean like this?

Temporary set up. I have plans for a more permanent solution suited for an eel of his size.
