Weird. First I discover this thread and two hours later I see you bought wilds from the same source I'm about to. Which ones are those?
You just dropped them in? Ballsy. (I probably would've too, heh)
This is the Emerald Green Japura.
Yea, probably not the smartest thing to do with wilds but I asked John a few questions that met my satisfaction. In addition, after receiving them the pair looks healthy, has nice size girth, fins in great condition. I acclimated for an 1 1/2 slow drip with a hugh airstone for aeration. They were swimming around as active as can be. Ate for me within a couple of hours in my tank and has settled in nicely.
I've received fish in the past where there was no way in hell I'd just dump it in...lol... but with these guys I was comfortable.
I think it simply comes down to better judgment upon receipt of the fish. If the fish looks like crap... most likely it will end up crap =-(
