So I went to my LFS this weekend planning to get 10 neons for my newly cycled tank. He filled the bag with water, added the fish, and when he picked it up from the air filling station disaster!!! The newly air filled bag slipped from his hands and exploded when it hit the floor. We both sprung into action quickly and whipped out some credit cards and put the fish in his quarantine tank which happened to be right next to the fill station. The longest any of them were out was about 45 seconds. We let them swim for a while and all looked OK so I went home with some discount tetras, and he threw a few extra in for free from the main tank.
I wasn’t sure if I wanted to take them after the incident, but I also know they have a better chance in my cycled tank instead of the next idiot that walks in to buy tetras with a tank full of new tap water. He has a 14 day guarantee so I am not worried. This morning they are all doing well so I am hopeful.
I wish I could have had a picture of our faces when the bag was falling. Im sure it was priceless.
