ok you have to explain how you do that seriously does it freak them out and try to jump out of your hand ? when moving them to the other tank do you cover them up completely with both hands and drop them in for the wrasse will this be stressful for them?

Hey here is a YouTube video of my leopard wrasses and the wrasse tank. Check it out. (Put it in 720p HD also)

Yea i did that's what they told me they can't guarantee that they will have the stock for the following sat so i may place it and she said they willl keep it back ordered for me and when it comes in they will ship it out im just worried how long will i have to wait im scared to leave the fish in the bag for a long time thats why i like receiving them on Saturdays and the only Saturday i won t be home is next Saturday lol

 

[4FordFamily]

I receive my fish in the morning when they come (10:30 or so) because I am a stay at home dad by morning and early afternoon and weekends, part time employed, and a full time MBA grad student from 2pm until 10pm. I'm gone in afternoon Monday through Friday. So it works for me haha.
