Not doing so well

[renae]

i hate having to write this after everything looking good yesterday..I've lost 2..1 was one of the bad ones from the start but I thought he was picking up and doing well..the other I dont know it was hiding behind the filter from start..I thought it was just nervous and still settling in..I dont even know if I've caused this or it was caused from the whole extra 14hr freight delay..I havn't done anything different just daily wc..water paremetres are all good.
I really feel bad for these little guys..I feel like I'm failing them

Hi Renae,
Many of us can empathise with you feelings of failure, but try and keep the spirits up. It sounds like you have done all you can in the circumstances. I am relieved we didn't have to contend with the freezing weather as well like our American counterparts did.

Re: Not doing so well

Thanks you guys, but I've lost 3 all up 2 last night..although I'm feeling okay just feel bad for the fish..and yes we are lucky we dont have to worry about the cold weather..my fingers are crossed for the safe arrival for all of their fish.

That's a real bummer, Renae! How are the other three looking and acting? They ok? As I've been told, "Chin up, you've still got mouths to feed." Good luck.

Re: Not doing so well

Jose..How are yours doing?,thanks so much for your kind words,the other 3 are looking okay..they are doing a bit of fighting amongst themselves and swimming around okay. The last one to go I overlooked as it was hiding behind the filter the whole time,I thought it was just too scared to venture out.
I really hope your little guys are doing well.

Re: Not doing so well

I think they'll be fine by morning (fingers crossed ) Five of the six were up with the last one trying before I snapped my last pics. I don't wanna bother them anymore so, I'll check em in the morning.

Re: Not doing so well

Its okay Darren..all is good, it doesn't matter if I'm down to 3 I just didn't expect it to happen.
I can work with the 3 I have..they seem to be doing well at the moment..allready trying to work out between themselves who's going to be the dominant one..so that is a good sign that they are feeling okay.
I'm sure these ones will be fine and tell Santa I'm happy and I think I just need a bourbon.

Re: Not doing so well

Renae, I'm sorry to hear about the losses. The delay in the shipping was probably really stressful on them since they are small. There's nothing you can do about it except to give them the best care possible and hope they pull through.

If the others are fighting it's a good sign that they're healthy and happy I hope they settle in nicely for you.
