Anyone ever ordered fish from this site ? Is it reputable ? I am trying to get a rope fish and they are the only site I have come upon that has them.
So I got my rope fish today (first time getting any fish through the mail). Drip acclimated him for an hour and a half and then put him in my tank. Went out for a few hours and came back to find it deceased. Wondering if I did something wrong or what.
When I opened the bag the fish was in it REEKED! I mean it smelled bad...is that normal for fish sent in the mail ? Also while drip acclimating it the rope fish kept turning upside down and I thought it was dead several times...I would push on the bag here and there and he would kind of wiggle around.
So needless to say my first experience with getting a fish mailed to me didn't go over to well...
