Where did this one come from?

 

[Why-Me]

BTW @Katrina71 she mentioned last night possibly naming the new clownfish puff...so she has coco+puff. ;Hilarious

 

[Katrina71]

If I have to go to Sustainable and hand pick her one, I will!

 

[Why-Me]

Where did this one come from?

All 3 fish came from The Coral Reef TN fish are Sustainable Aquatics.
Update, new clownfish may be moving tad better.

Odd behavior... never seen a clown lay flat like that. They usually adjust almost instantly. Were the fish shipped overnight, and did you drip acclimate?

 

[Why-Me]

He was laying on the bottom of the bag but still kinda swimming so I figured it's fine, followed their float acc procedures and he went to the sand...

Yes shipped overnight they recommend not drip acclimating and I followed their procedure, since they have 2 week alive guarantee.

 

[Katrina71]

I would shoot them an email with your pics just in case!

I'd just give him some time. Maybe step away from the tank and watch from a distance to keep stress down. Sounds like you did everything right and its shipping stress.

What was the salinity of the bag water??

 

[Katrina71]

It was bitterly cold here yesterday. That's why I asked where they were from.

Good deal, overnight shipped fish are swimming in a ton of nontoxic ammonium. Once the bag is opened and CO2 and O2 exchanged, ammonium rapidly becomes ammonia and gills get burnt.

If a drip is necessary, I use lots of prime. Three times dose.

Way ahead of ya. I figured notifying them with pictures just to document what's happening would be best.

 

[Katrina71]

I'm thinking of getting a tiny addition from there myself.

+1
27 overnight yesterday, 35 this morning. Ember my flame blenny was super sluggish when she was delayed 48 hours last winter and her heat pack had gone cold.
