Wow, Live Aquaria never ceases to amaze me. They have by far the most amazing customer service ever. I say that every time I buy.
I haven't bought any fish since May/April of this year. And that was also a batch of Ventralis Anthias I received, all of which were great. The last two carried some parasite, and unfortunately I didn't do a QT process and it wiped them out. Needless to say, I finally found a small genicanthus bellus on LA! I've been waiting forever!
She came in a HUGE box, with tons of water! No heat/cold packs, but I don't think it was needed anyway.
She was very healthy coming out, wasn't flipping out or unhealthy at all.
After a 30 minute acclimation, I netted her into the tank. She immediately hid, but only for about 10 minutes. After 10, she came right out and swam around with the ocellaris and percula I have. The two clownfish have been with me for 3 years, and completely the most unaggressive fish ever.
So within half an hour, I was getting her to eat flake, mysis, brine, AND rod's food! HOLY CRAZINESS!
What an exotic fish that came so healthy and ready to eat. She swims around the water column constantly, with ZERO swim bladder problems or symptoms.
I did notice that she likes to pick at the little attenae of my snails. But that's the only picking she has shown, otherwise she chases stuff all over the water column.
Behavior wise, she swims in the strong currents, likes to hug the edges of the tank, and does not do the centrogype like slaloms through rocks.
Here are pictures I took just now:
