goldfishgirl82 2,349 Posted November 8, 2015 It took a few days to get the video and photos uploaded, but here they are as promised. This is the fish I bought from Mikey's store in New Jersey and he shipped to me. There was a little snag with the shipping and for some reason it took a day longer than it was supposed to, but he is here safe and sound. I think he may have been a little bit traumatized by the ordeal because he's bottom sitting a little bit. I have put 0.1% salt in and am monitoring it, and if it doesn't get better I'll start a D&D thread... but, in the meantime, here he is and I think he's beautiful! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goldfishgirl82 2,349 Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) Thanks Mandy! Oh, I should mention, I don't think the trauma had anything to do with Mikey's packaging. He did a super job! The bag didn't even lose any air. I think the sort center where the express packages come into my area may have some issues. This was the second express package I had arrive late in two months. So pretty. Thank you Edited November 8, 2015 by goldfishgirl82 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey 6,780 Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) I hope the bottom sitting stops! Poor baby! What's his temp at? I would get it to 78-80 if not already there. he was in roughly 82-84 degree temperature all his life at my co workers Edited November 8, 2015 by Mikey 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would get it to 78-80 if not already there. he was in roughly 82-84 degree temperature all his life at my co workers I have a heater on there that is set to 79. He may not be used to that yet as it's a bit cooler than he's used to. Unfortunately, that is the only temp the heater runs at. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goldfishgirl82 2,349 Posted November 8, 2015 He seems to be perking up a bit this evening. Maybe he just had to adjust a bit. Right now he's swimming around up off the bottom. This is the first time since he arrived. This is good news! Awesome! He will grow out beautifully! hope those black stripes stay put. Me too! They look really cool. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goldfishgirl82 2,349 Posted November 8, 2015 I think I'll need a closer look. Why don't you send him to me? How's his appetite? He has a pretty good appetite. He doesn't eat the food real fast, but he eats it all within about 5 minutes. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goldfishgirl82 2,349 Posted November 9, 2015 I did a 30% water change today and he perked up even more. So, I started his 1st round of prazi. I'll try to get another video tomorrow if I remember to charge my camera battery. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
