Sorry A lot of the fish didn't make it for everyone and I feel your pain Bill. I have and still am out of town or I would have jumped all over getting on the list for one! They are one of my #1 wants far as fish go! The awsome price you got them at was worth the gamble of getting one to live and stay in the tank IMO!
I did a huge SWF order once and almost everyones fish was DOA or died within hours to days later so since I was the one who placed the order I was suppose to send eveyones dead fish back and get store credit only....People were not mad as I remember but it was a nightmare and I was delivering dead fish and was in a weird spot since I paid up front for folks then asking for cash for a dead fish I had to send back was just a bad deal all the way around! So I think I ended up just eating most of the order and haveing a huge credit with that company. Needless to say telling Cory "aww hush... everyone is paying me back...." kinda came back to bite me in the rear end on that order

I just remember feeling awfull SRT80 insisting I take the cash for a pygmy angle who was almost dead but not yet and it died that night so he flushed it absorbing the loss. But the hassle for him and me to send it back was not worth it since we lived pretty far apart and I never thought about him sending it back with my order info from his post office but still, what a pain to send back dead, salted fish!!!
I just remember also having that feeling of being responsiable for folks money being wasted on dead fish and inverts since it was me offering to add on orders for folks to my order.
Live fish are just a gamble and if you can't afford to loose the cash you shouldn't order the fish I guess but it just really sucks when you do spend the cash to watch it all just die infront of you! (like my recent bangi school I got and was soo excited about. They never ate and all slowley disapeared one by one) In Hindsite I should have let you buy them at that meet after all Andy

:lol:
I console myself by saying " well I would have spent that on eating out one dinner anyways " So I guess thats why my hubby and I never go to nice resturants on dates.... I spend all our going out to eat money on fish I kill in my tank
