Bad Day for New Pleco
I ordered a male spotted LFBN Pleco off of aquabid. Yesterday, I made it a point to be home because he was getting delivered. I waited all day (he was supposed to arrive in the morning). Finally at 9pm I checked the tracking number with UPS. The status on the package said "delivered"! I panicked and could not figure out where the package could be. Finally I thought about our mailbox. I thought to myself "there is no way they would leave a package containing live fish in there" but I decided to check anyway. It was in there and the package was leaking (poor little guy). So I got him into a bown and acclimated him for 45 minutes before transfering him to my tank. When it was time to transfer him I got him in the net and he jumped out! He fell behind my bed. It took my 5 whole minutes to move my bed and find him. Suprisingly he was still alive. I grabbed him up and put him in the tank as fast as I could. So far, he looks like he is doing well, but that sure was a bad day for him. Poor little guy!
