tried to save the lil guy but he died !!! i tried ! so got 2 more today from LFS ! They are lil babies--any ideas how to get them acclimated to new enviroment They are being shy and docile -- i guess its gonna take a few days !

Sorry for the loss, congratz on your new fish!
you could try dipping your finger into bloodworms and moving your finger just above the water.
Your O may jump for the food!
Take care they dont jump out of the tank.
After that try putting your finger with worms into the water.
Your O's might take the worms from your fingers!
I trained my O this way and he still eats out of my hand, he just takes the food from between my fingers, and sometimes just tries to eat my fingers!lol

sorry for the loss, but if you kept your reciept, you can return the fish and get a full refund. walmart carries a full 90 day live gurantee on all fish sales. ive taken back several and gotten my money back.
