8 line flasher wrasse

Well....email sent. My male didn't make it through the night....although the female still looks well. Pretty bummed out honestly
 
That sucks :( Did anyone ask when these landed on this continent vs when they got shipped to you all?

I can answer that question. He got them in at around noon on Tuesday and shipped them all back out on Wednesday. This is the reason I wanted to wait until being shipped on Thursday to at least give them a day to rest, but with Christmas quickly approaching I knew if the delivery didn't make it Friday it would be doomed.

In reality he should have taken pre-orders and held them for at least a week or so before shipping back out.

Edit: I'm not bashing NYA at all here, just my own personal opinion
 
It's OK, I really don't think it's bashing to simply be discussing possible mistakes that can be avoided in the future. I'd like to think everyone involved only wants the best for these fish.

Absolutely. We're all at fault here...NYA is a business and wants/needs to make money and we as hobbyists want these rare/uncommon fish in their tanks ASAP...

Sometimes the excitement of something overpowers the right thing to do and we don't realize it until after the fact. I really should have gone with my first instinction to have him hold mine til after Christmas to give them a much better chance.

Lesson learned for all of us :fish1:
 
My female didn't make it either, it is sad that all these fish died:-( such an uncommon specimen dead! It kills me I wish we didn't even have them, I feel like all this could have been avoided. Sucks
 
I agree that sometimes our excitement out weighs doing the right thing but they should have never been listed on the website the same day they arrived. These arent even fragile fish IMO, they're pretty hardy. Its sad things went this way, hopefully things go better next time. RJ42, sorry about the female I hoped she would through for you.
 
Thanks aqua me too:-/ I agree they shouldn't have been listed, or preorder only something like that. But that isn't our call, I rememeber saying if they look good ship them, that is a call he as a supplier needed to make. I had no Bearing on the decision. Idk it's kind of unfortunate. Has anyone else heard from mike today? I emailed him with no response so far.
 
I emailed him twice with no response...however he did 'respond' to my pic of the dead male with my request for a refund with a Paypal refund so he was at least checking it.
 
That's really suck to hear that. Mine doing well, he actually came out of the PVC and ate a good bit of mysis today. Hopefully he'll make it. He'll stay in qt until I can get him inoto pellet. I won't start any medication until he feel more comfortable.
 
Nice to hear minhvu, glad yours is doing ok. You'll have one of the only males to survive the trip.

Hopefully all the females turn into nice males :) Mine certainly has her work cut out as my tank is full of mostly male wrasses...
 
brian, it shouldnt matter as long as you dont have other 8line males, it seems all wrasses eventually go male:( still no email from him. kind of lame. merry x mas all my wrasse junkies!
 
Merry Christmas

I remember Nya had some earlier in the year and some reefers here bought some. How are they doing? Any tips on keeping them?
 
on a note you wont hear from him today as he is jewish and wont be on a phone, internet ect.

for people asking about price, i will say this as it took me 3 years to get this fish, yes 3 years ive been trying to get a pair, ive had mine a little over a year now, and no i didnt get them from nya
