10:30am - sweet UPS from LiveAquaria arrived on time!
10:45am - damn. Greenbanded goby is dead on arrival
11am - start drip acclimating royal gramma
(Coffee cup gives it a cave to de stress in)
1pm - introduce to tank. Lights off. Shoot - is that fin rot I see?
4pm - lights on again. Chillin. Damn. Definitely fin rot but I'm happy because I'm 80% sure it isn't ich, and I have great water. I even did a WC yesterday.
10pm - starfish food
At this point I'm incredibly frustrated. Why? This was a replacement order that liveaquaria sent to make up for last weeks' order.
What happened last week? Literally the exact same thing. Goby is DOA and royal gramma dies 2 days later after textbook acclimation and great water quality
Until last week I had *never* lost a fish after introduction. Very frustrated now but perhaps someone will notice a flaw in my procedure?
