I want to carry on the copper in my fry that are now 5 months and im about to sell, he wouldve been perfect for their mum but unfortunately she's not here anymore.

Is he short-bodied? Or is it a bad angle? Skyhawk dorsal! =D

Iv looked there's one i like but just isnt as coppery as he was...

That is really sad as I know how much you fret when they are in the mail. You might consider
waiting until one is available that excites you as much. Just a thought.

Getting a DOA has actually made me worry about sending my own as i was preparing myself to sending Lilfishies and Fuzzynicki's when they are both ready.

I dont know if it was supposed to but the water was green but there was hardly any water, but i know Steve has more experiance than me and knows what he's doing.

I would imagine everyone is probably apprehensive when mailing and especially the first few times. I know I would be. You've received so many in the mail you should know what looks right. I'm sure you'll do just fine.

Thanks Dave

Well i thought there wasnt a lot of water and it looked green the water still got him in the bag here will he want him back do you think?

I was quite impressed with his packaging and even the IAL leaf he gives you suprised me but i was gutted when i opened the box to see him on his side floating not moving. he must have been happy at one point as there was a bubble nest on the surface when i opened the box!

iv`e had one DOA and all he wanted was a pic.he will send you a replacement for free!
