Ah yes! But cant you take fish in the morning your sending them? Or does it have to be the day before?

by **Netty** on Fri Sep 04, 2009 8:41 pm

No it has to be the day before and by guaranteed next day delivery before 1.00pm. We only send out our fish Monday - Thursday, thus avoiding the weekends and all are guaranteed to arrive the next day before 1.00pm and include heat packs.

by **jasminek** on Fri Sep 04, 2009 8:43 pm

Oh thats right! i must email the seller again then lol, she did say about a heatpack too! Mums paid now just have to sort out arrival for tuesday. Im so unhappy with the 3 females i have as their just so sad.

They'll be fine temporarily and before you know it they all be together in their new home. Good luck with your new girls and hope everything goes ok thumbup

thankyou Netty :D Well ive emailed the seller and asked could she possibly have them here by tuesday. I guess thats great because now i can bluk out the tank, i can enjoy my long weekend and then monday its only one day till they come. But my mum will have to put them in 7 seperate things until im back from school? How will i do that because i need them in their bags to float them when i arrive home at 4... Hmmm!

by **Netty** on Fri Sep 04, 2009 8:57 pm

Just get your Mum to float them in their opened bags in the tank so that they keep warm until you get home. She'll have to keep checking though that none jump out of the bags or don't tip or trap any of the females.

by **jasminek** on Fri Sep 04, 2009 9:01 pm

Oh yes, that sounds good lol! Actually before i leave for school on the morning of the arrival of the 7 fish, i could float the 3 femals i already have or will that make them think they own it because theyve been in it longer?
(Btw netty i apprecate all these tips and advice Wink

)

Im SOOOOO excited to just hav 10 bags floating of lovely fish, hopefully the release will be even better They even have an air stone in the back corner! its so cool :D

by **Netty** on Fri Sep 04, 2009 9:21 pm

That's ok hun. I would wait and add the other 3 when you get home. Then every 15 mins for about an hour, add a little tank water to each of the bags. We usually recommend this especially for fish that have travelled thumbup

by **jasminek** on Fri Sep 04, 2009 9:33 pm

Yes I now know how to acclimize properly. Im just loving the tank! Mum said she will take me out for more plants etc tomorrow! I just really hope the bettas will be ok until tuesday they dont look very happy.
