Urgh… I have had the worst day in a long time today. Besides things at work being all screwed up because of renovations I was suppose to get my imported betta’s that I’ve been waiting weeks for finally overnight shipped to me. I woke up at effen 7 am on 4 hours of sleep to be ready for their arrival…. time passed by and before I knew it I had to go to work at 3 without any sign of my fish. Thankfully Joe was going to be home to wait for them… time passed some more till it was like 6 pm and I knew something had to be wrong. I called up the shipping company to find out my package never even made it on a truck. The drive just never picked it up to be delivered. They agreed to keep their facilities open so Joe could just go pick it up…. but once they finally found it the bags had leaked everywhere and both fish were dead T-T. I cannot explain how pissed off I was… I seriously almost left work simply because I was so pissed and full of frustration. Now I have to sort a whole bunch of crap out between the carrier, transhipper and breeder. I truly couldn’t wait to get that fish too… he was so pretty, it’s such a waste.

There is some what good news. The female platinum halfmoon I ordered was left out of that shipment. They just forgot to pack her XD. Soooo she was shipped out tonight via express mail (not crappy DHL) and should arrive just fine. Linda said she only gets like 1 or 2 cases of bag leakage a year, meaning its likely DHL just completely mishandled the package resulting in the death of my other two fish. I’m trying to remain confident that she’ll be ok in US postal express shipping. I REALLY REALLY hope she’ll arrive safe. I would feel at least a little less discouraged about what happened.
I now have to sort out with the original seller what to do about this whole situation. I’m hoping he’ll replace the fish with a similar one from the same spawn, I was really looking forward to my panda fish T-T. If not I’m sure I’ll just get refunded… and have to pick out new fish -.-

urgh…

I also have to re-setup my breeding tank. Kyo got a bad case of fin rot out of no where o.o! Chi was completely fine. So it’ll be some time before he’s back to his healthy self and able to breed and care for babies ^^. Patience truly is the #1 requirement in betta breeding…. I should pick easier hobbies XD.
