i think i have a DOA

i gently picked him up to see if he would wake up or not he did not move, i realy think he's dead and he just floated back to the bottom of the bag

 

well, if they are too dumb to give you any help and are giving credit out like that just take it and get something else even if he lives

 

Or gas depending on how long it's been dead :-X

 

yea just kind of picked him up with my hands and nothing i didnt feel a sack like i felt on my McCoskers when i moved him away from my brain, just slimy, and mouth isint moving or anything

 

thats what im thinking too but i think ill have to end up ordering another melanurus wrasse

 

Just acclimate him really slowly and see if he perks up. If you acclimate him too quickly he may just stay like that if hes playing possum.
Good luck

 

here are some pics, their not the best he looks kind of dull but he's really pretty

 

Ugggh sorry. But acclimate the entire way. just in case.

 

ok, how long should i acclimate for like 2 hours? i just worry if i put him in the tank like how he is he wont survive

 

I just read online that sometimes fish appear dead from the trauma, but after a slow and thorough acclimation they can revive themselves.
