My Fish Went On A Road Trip....

[Walt]

Soooo...
I ordered up 6 red cherry shrimp and 2 dwarf puffers(Tetraodon travancorius.. tiny little things).

They were ovenighted to me and i tracked em on the fedex site...
They arrived in my home town and were loaded onto the truck at 9 am...supposed to be delivered by 3.
At 8 at night, the site shows em as being returned to fedex!?
Huh?

So i call, and they tell me they were too busy to get em to me and that they will deliver em the next day....
NOT!!! i tell em, hey those are LIVE creatures in the box, ya dummies!!

So i drive 20 miles down to fedex and get em myself....

3 shrimp and 1 puffer didnt make it..

So www.azgardens.com, where i got em says they will reship the whole order to me again... good guys..

Damnfedex!....

Dude, that sucks, especially since you paid for overnight shipping. Can't even get what you paid for nowadays!

That usually happens during the holiday weeks.

You said they are shipping the whole order again so did you keep the 3 shrimp that did survive and you're going to get 6 more?

UPDATE!
(yes, kris-b-, when i get the new order, i will have a total of 9 shrimp, and 3 puffers... but i think ill load 2 of the puffers into my kids tank)

I also my new surviving 'friends'!
3 - red cherry shrimp, which are seriously ellusive to find! heh
1 - dwarf Tetraodon Travancorius Puffer

I know the puffer may not be the best choice for this style tank, but i used to keep 1 in a simular setup and he was an awesome community kinda guy, so i thought i would try again.. besides, they have so much personality!!
When i first got em i thought the bag was empty!!! They are SUPER tiny... much smaler then even the cardnials!!
He is just kicking back in the brush for now, learning about his new home
Heres a pic of him... tough to get!

Zoomin of the upper pic

If i could find my shrimp, they would look like this!!! heh... they are clever hiding creatures.... only find em once an awhile....

Sooo all is good!
And yes Zig, Santa was good to me! Especially good to my boy! B)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
