    Ugh, so worried!!! I was supposed to get my trio of red tail flasher wrasses today from Diver's Den. This morning a lady from LA called and said there was severe weather in Memphis (so much for ordering fish in the summer because the weather is better) and the fish are stuck there. They won't be here until tomorrow!!! Poor things. I'm dreading opening that box. :cry:

    It is Fed Ex. I've never had an issue before. I don't know how the weather can be so extreme they can't get it out here at a later time today. Poor fish.

    Its tornado and bad thunderstorm season. That's probably what is keeping the plane grounded.

    no kidding! I would definitly very slowly acclimate them when you get them since they'll be in the bag for that extra day. I know corals can last 2-3 days in shipping but fish I have no idea.. Hopefully you'll get them tomorrow in the AM.. I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya.

    Thanks. Wrasses aren't the best shippers to begin with, so I'm sure two days isn't they best thing for them. The lady said they pack them with enough oxygen for 72 hours, but I'm worried about the waste build up in the bag, and the stress.
