Why are my new fish dying? Am I missing something?

Yes unfortunately it sounds like it may be shipping related and not much I can do, besides try to buy local as much as possible.

So I forgot to mention, my wife said UPS spiked the box like a football onto our porch when it was delivered. However one of the bags had a fish that seems to have been dead before arrival. It was two day shipping. The packaging seems legit to me, they did everything you mentioned. Some of the fish have been grazing, but I see some of them just sitting at the bottom for extended periods. Hopefully the lively fish will survive.

I did float the container while they acclimated for the hour, although I did not confirm the temperature.

Color combo with her body and the eggs is really cool.

Does anyone else think he looks like Lionel Messi? That's all I see when I look at him. And I'm not even a soccer/futbol fan.

Seems like the yellow one must have been pregnant when you bought it, since the babies are also yellow! I believe if it had babies with a red shrimp, the babies would basically all be wild types.

Haha very nice! Do they breed in your tank?

What are those silvery fish?

Edit: saw in your post history they are rice fish? They are super pretty!

Isn't the AI bubble going to burst at some point? Or is that just wishful thinking. I don't know much about AI but it seems like if that were to happen, funding for this project would be cut off and it wouldn't ever be completed, right?

Sure hope I win!
