Just
look
at
the
responses
the
owner
leaves
to
bad
reviews.
These
responses
are
something
I
wish
so
badly
I
would
have
looked
at,before
trusting
them
with
the
life
of
our
sweet,
aquatic
treasure.
This
store
owner
has
a
BIG
ego.
His
blindness
to
his
incompetence
is
why
our
lil
treasure
showed
up
DOA.
I
understand
mistakes
happen.
HOWEVER,
when
You
are
called
and
asked
“do
you
ship
fish,
specifically,
puffers?”
And
they
confidently
tell
you
“yes,
all
of
the
time.”
(Being
semi
new
to
the
hobby
and
never
having
shipped
a
fish,
we
felt
more
comfortable
allowing
someone
with
experience
and
confidence
in
their
ability
to
do
so.)
Aquatic
Treasures
was
generous
in
that
they
packaged
Qwasi
for
free(I
guess
u
can
count
the
one
star
for
this
part.).
This
is
something
I
really
appreciated,at
the
time.
Especially
since
shipping
him
overnight,
with
a
guaranteed
noon
arrival
(this
would
mean
he
was
in
a
box
for
a
total
of
20hours)
cost
$250
through
ups.
Where
things
went
completely
left
was
in
his
packaging.
He
knew
we
were
coming,
had
everything
prepared
(he
doubled
bagged
him
with
pure
oxygen,
which
gave
me
more
confidence
in
the
shipping
process)
and
a
nice
thick
styrofoam
box
ready
to
go.
BUT,
Qwasi
was
packed
and
taped
up
before
we
could
even
look
in
the
box
to
see
how
he
was
specifically
packaged
(my
BIGGEST
regret
was
not
opening
that
box
to
make
sure
an
experienced
fish
shipper,
as
he
claimed,
didn’t
do
something
completely
inadequate,
like
put
a
rubber
band
around
a
bag
of
water!!).
Did
you
expect
the
water
NOT
to
leak
out?!?!?!?!
Seriously,
What
were
you
thinking
would
happen!?!
Why
in
this
universe
would
you
“seal”
a
bag
of
water
with
a
rubber
band,
with
no
knot
or
knots(a
bag
that
you
laid
on
its
side,
perfect
for
the
water
to
just
leak
out
of…which
is
exactly
what
happened)
Rubber
bands
ARE
NOT
a
seal.
Try
tying
knots
next
time
you
don’t
want
DOA
fish.
The
zip
lock
bag
of
plants
next
to
Qwasi,
did
not
leak(our
own
packaging).
Once
shipped,
Every
bit
of
water
leaked
out
of
Qwasi’s
bag
(Now,
all
we
keep
imagining
is
him
thrashing
and
suffocating
to
death.
It’s
absolutely
atrocious,
to
keep
imagining.)
and
when
it
is
such
an
obvious
NO(the
rubber
band…).there
is
no
excuse
for
this.
LEARN
how
to
package
fish
correctly
before
making
a
generous
offer
of
packaging
him
for
free(or
for
money).
It’s
not
about
the
money
when
it’s
a
life.
To
top
it
off,
you
talked
bad
about
the
other
stores
in
town,
saying,
“they
would
charge
for
this,
they
are
all
suffering,
but
not
us”
I
would
have
Happily
gave
you
whatever
money
you
needed
to
package
him
in
a
way
that
he
would
arrive
alive.
I
bet
you
those
“suffering”
fish
stores
could
have
packed
Qwasi
and
he
would
be
alive
today.
In
my
experience
with
all
the
shops,
yours
is
the
worst,
most
arrogant,
and
your
inability
to
see
and
admit
when
you
make
a
mistake
will
be
the
downfall
of
your
store.
You
have
not
been
open
long,
That’s
your
ego
getting
a
little
too
big
again.
The
bags
were
heavily
inspected
upon
arrival.
There
are
no
holes
in
the
bags,
just
a
rubber
band
tied
around
empty
bags.
(Dragon
puffers
to
not
have
spikes
or
teeth
so
he
wouldn’t
puncture
the
bag
anyway,
when
he
did
puff.
All
I
see
is
a
very
smart
fish
suffering,
gasping,
and
suffocating
in
the
bag.
I’m
dumbstruck
by
the
stupidity
that
cost
our
lil
dude
his
life.
He
died
a
very
painful
☠️
death
💀,
thanks
to
you.
This
is
on
you,
💯!
!
He
was
less
than
one
year
old.
His
life
taken
10-15
years
early.
Please
please
save
yourself
the
anguish
and
do
NOT
trust
them
with
shipping
(in
general)
but
it
is
extra
painful
because
he
was
our
pet.
I
don’t
know
how
to
end
this.
You
murdered
our
pet,
man.
RIP
QWASI,
you
are
terribly
missed
and
so
so
loved
💕

My
happiness
place
quarantines
every
single
fish,
will
refuse
the
sell
until
the
fish
are
definitely
healthy.
(Advice
for
all
those
who
buy
sick
fish
that
die
from
you)
I
Would
have
shipped
through
my
happiness
place,
but
did
not
realize
they
closed
on
Thursday’s
and
time
was
of
the
essence.
More
so
than
I
could
have
imagined
:’(!!
