I ordered a Spotfin Lionfish online. It shipped out Monday by Priority Overnight through FedEx. To make a long story short, the fish arrived in Indianapolis and missed the flight to Ohio so Fedex told me it won't arrive until this morning (Wednesday).
Ahh.... poor little fish is gonna be stuck in a shipping bag for two days, in the freezing cold! Honestly, I didn't think it would have a chance to arrive alive.
Got it today, checked the bag and the poor thing was floating upside down. But I noticed it moving slightly so I decided to do the drip acclimation. After about an hour through the acclimation it started swimming around, not completely upright but still... better than floating right? By the end of the acclimation, it was alert and swimming around. Not 100% but I was optimistic it would make it. Now it's in the tank, hiding next to a rock.
My problem is I tried to feed it a little guppy but my other Fuzzy Dwarf just eats everything I put in the tank, almost instantly! So how can I feed the Spotfin? Anyone have any suggestions? I'm hoping the little guy makes it.
