[rachy]

hi guys !!!
i brought a wave nanocube set it up about 8wks ago i got 4kilos of live rock n sand
done a water check n everything was fine so my friend said he would buy my 1st fish for me
they arrived 2day but sadly when i opened them up (i didnt know he was going 2 buy them online) one of the perculas was dead and the other wasnt moving alot .. so i slowly got him ready to go in tank left him in bag for 30mins _ 1hr and i put my tank water into bag slowly and threw what was in bag away after changing it
hes now in tank swam very little and now just sat on bottom of tank still breathing
hes been in tank for 4hrs now and moved very little
please help is he dying ?? any chance i can keep him alive

Im sure you reposted, but I will say this... clowns are very agressive to other members of their species so prob the one killed the other and with the one dieing, it may have begun to decay (depending on long the shipment time was) and leached hazardous waste chemicals into the water. Even the slightest amount will harm fish, especially saltwater fish. I would just watch it and if it is not eating within a day or two, then I would become really concerned as it is most likely not going to make it... If this is the case, I would demand a refund fromt he supplier for either not properly marking the packaging for proper handling or for just being stupid and putting two clowns in a small bag for any period of time...
