Now I've really done it: Cirrhilabrus lunatus

Fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yay! Safe arrival?

 

Fish?
FISH!!!!!!!!!!

 

Seems there was a rough flight...

The male looks decent; the female... ehhh, not so much. Might be a damaged swim bladder; been dripping about 15 min now and she's looking somewhat better. We'll see.

The horrida has come off the plug (no big deal) and the speciosa has a few micro frags in the bag, so it seems the box got tossed around a bit.

 

Sorry to hear that... At least she's in good hands now, if anyone can make it pull through itll be you.

 

Well, thank you; you may have more confidence in me than I do myself.

Things are at least headed the right direction; they're into the acclimation box now and she is able to keep herself upright. Occasionally does a loopy spin, but not as bad as she was in the bucket.

The male will be just fine, thankfully.

 

I send positive wrasse energy your way. At least she isn't burred in the sand for a week.

 

Exciting!! I hope the female is feeling better soon.

 

She's trying, but it doesn't look good. He ate, she didn't/couldn't.

I'll give it a few days and see if she shows any improvement; generally doesn't happen in situations like these. I'll have to do an ice bath at that point if there's no change; I'd rather not watch her suffer.
