I've been holding off on this update until I saw how it would be resolved and I'm glad I did
So the fish order I had from blue zoo aquatic that got held up a day late at a FedEx facility ended up being a total loss. One by one I lost the fish, but BZA gave me a full credit to use to order new fish PLUS they gave me free shipping on the order since it was deemed fedex's fault. So 2 weeks ago I placed an order for the following:
1x Naoko fairy wrasse
1x 6 line wrasse
1x McCosker flasher wrasse
1x Blue flasher wrasse
1x multi colored fairy wrasse
1x diamond goby
1x lawnmower Benny
I requested that they be delivered Tuesday of last week. They ship out Monday and I want eager to get the box the next day. Next day comes and I get the box on time(yaaaaay) already doing better than last. I open the box and go thru the bags and uh oh, something is not right. I got the McCosker, naoko, multicolor, 2 lawnmower bennies, 6 line. Oh geez here we go no blue flasher or diamond goby.
So I immediately email BZA and basically say uh, what gives? A little back and forth and it's discovered that they held shipping the blue flasher because the ones they had didn't look good and they weren't sure if they would make the trip, and the diamond goby was just a straight up mistake. So at the point I'm certain that they will just try to give me credit to use on a later order or refund my money(which I didn't want either). I really wanted my fish so to my surprise they said they will ship the 2 fish out asap! They shipped out this past Monday and I got them in today. Both fish came in great shape!
I talked to Greg at BZA earlier Monday about the fish and he said that they had a really nice Blue flasher that he just photographed for their collectors corner but said he will ship that one to me, and it's a beauty.
So all in all I have nothing but high praise for BZA after this whole ordeal. I feel they went above and beyond to help me with all the hiccups we had. Right now all the fish are swimming around in QT and eating like pigs. I'm really happy with how this transaction ended for me.
Now on to the 2nd part of this update. I acclimated the new blue flasher and diamond this morning before work, I put them in and all seemed well. I come home to find out that the Naoko has turned into a huge bully! Picking and attacking the blue flasher wrasse like crazy! So yea I was a little ticked, I had my daughter screaming at the Naoko telling him to stop lol, it was kind of funny though so that made me laugh. I needed a acclimation box asap! So I took a spare BRS carbon container(1 gallon) and drilled some holes in it and used some spare magnets from old heaters I have laying around. I scooped up the Naoko and put him in there and boy, he is not happy.
I hope he cools his jets sooner rather than later. He eats like crazy and is pretty fat for a fish that I've only had for a week.
Sorry about the lengthy update, but I hope you enjoyed it!
Super fancy.
Why were they delayed?
