the electric blueline angel that missed the flight...(video)

[geaux xman]

Ordered this guy from NYA about a month ago. Thanks to a Fed-EX screwup, it took 40+hrs to arrive at my door. Good thing the BL was in close to 3gal of water.... acclimated it, and it was eating like a champion the next day in my QT tank.

After a thorough cupramine and prazi treatment, yesterday I added the BL to my DT. Here he is feeding on some pellets...

Congrats, fish looks good!
Michael at NYA is a good guy/great vendor. Since he's about 20 min. from my home, I've never had anything shipped...but I've seen him packing stuff, so I KNOW that he does a great job.

One beautiful blueline I have seen in awhile. Congrats, because they are more fragile than they seem to be, well at least in my hands.

Nice fish. It says good things about NYA that they shipped in three gallons. It gives the fish plenty of room.

[mfish1]

Wow, very nice
If you don't mind me asking, how much was the blueline?

 

[Overboard]

Congrats! Beautiful fish. The blue markings on the face are outstanding!

That is one of the most beautiful fish I've ever seen.

40+ hours.. that is cross world travel.

thanks for the feedback guys.

for the record, this was a complete abberation from the norm for Fed-Ex. i've ordered 10+ times, and they were always at my door overnight by 9am-noon at the latest.

heres a quick video i threw together of my 7 angels and a tang.

Bluelines are hit or miss like regal angels. Depending on where and who it comes from, you may get one that is healthy or one that is very sick. Usually when the blueline doesnt' eat, it needs to be treated / QT because its suffering from stress and potential diseases. The usual disease that blueline usually comes in with are velvet and flukes.

+1 on being uncertain on on-line orders and shipping. This scenario terrifies me!

Wow... UMG and EMI blocked your video because of music they are never going to make a cent off of... Hate labels. No wonder I don't work with any labels under them anymore!

Anyway... beautiful fish!
