It was USPS. I had to sign, but he scanned it as damaged. I asked the seller to get a shipping refund, waiting to hear back. Ideally, the seller would use the refund to ship me a few replacement fish (with a different carrier this time).
not what you want to see when the postman comes to your door
- Thread starter adamsfishes
- Start date
Looks like someone kicked the box around a little.Having fish delivered is always a worrisome process to me which is one of the reasons why I do it less and less.
Adam, after chatting with you for some time about these fish before you even ordered them,I can imagine how you must be feeling.
I think the seller will compensate in some way.
Let's hope the ones remaining pull through.
They are a beautiful thorichthys species and I know through past conversations that you have researched them well.
They stand as much chance of bouncing back in your care as anyone's.
You still have a good number of them and they will probably spawn for you by next summer.
I look forward to seeing them grow into healthy enviable specimens.
Good luck and sorry for the losses.

Lmfao bro this kills me, thanks for sharing. Love the guy that boots the package on the root lmfao hahahahhahahah
That's what they did to this guys poor fish.
Thanks, Darren. I'm actually starting to feel better about the situation. It looks like I got nine good fish. The tenth is still alive but laying on its side. I think it's just a matter of time.
They are pretty active and are gobbling up 1mm NLS Hex Shield pellets. That's a great sign.
However, they are still very skittish (rightfully so), and don't like to hear sudden noises.
Gotta run again but will post pics later. I'll start a growout thread and leave this one to the shipping situation.
Yeah, it was definitely kicked or stomped. The one corner is completely smashed. It would take "blunt force trauma" to do that to a box.
Me too. But it only takes one bad egg.
I'm wondering if someone was angry about the gun violence situation that's going on down there in Texas and decided to take it out on some boxes. Who knows.
