Pretty much explains itself really. If you have questions about tank set-ups, tank furniture, (caves etc) chuck them in here!

forgot to post pictures of how the tank looks now, i ended up removing the driftwood cause i was planning on using the tank for something else but ended up getting the zebras anyways. now seeing how small they really are i think it was a good idea to remove the driftwood.

well wanted to update you guys about my missing zebras....


the seller is ignoring any attempt of contact
fedex has layed it out as the seller's fault for not requesting signature confirmation.

i believe that since it was partly the seller's(fantasticfins) for not making sure the package would arrive to me that he should be partly responsible. there was personal insurance measures made to insure the arrival of the package and i paid for shipping thinking it would make it to me safe and sound but i guess that wasnt the case. i have been emailing fantasticfins just about everyday requesting for some sort of update about the fedex deal since they wouldnt share much info with me and would always steer me to the shipper. finally fedex stated that the shipper should have requested and paid for signature confirmation and they did their part by delivering "residential package" meaning leave at door if need be.

fantasticfins, if you see this please email me or contact me in some sort of way so this could be put to rest. right now i am willing to accept half so that neither of us takes a complete loss whether it be one fish or half of my money back.

i feel that the shipper has partial responsibility for the package they send, i know when i ship anything i get the most amount of insurance and request a signature in order to accept the package.


anyone in MI who knows of fantasticfins(supposed lfs) please have them contact me or give me some sort of contact info.

finally heard from fantasticfins but it took negative feedback for him to though.

looks like he thinks the ones pictured are his that was supposedly shipped and has basically blew me off.

wanted to update with some new pictures of the tank. added some slate to the tank along with a smaller piece of driftwood. i wanted to find some black&white fish/tetras to add to the tank to help with the uneaten food but couldnt find any nice black colored tetras but did score some really nice white tetras. the white tetras are albino lemon tetras and since i couldnt find nice black fish i went with harlequin rasboras which have a nice black side. the tank now also has custom moonlighing i put together from leds.
