Delayed Truck

Our fish truck was late.

Extremely late considering it should have come to us yesterday. 

And like.
I've had our fish truck late before.
It once disappeared and was like...two days late?
Or even maybe just a single day late.
But it was late.

And the fish didn't do too well with that delay.

And like...earlier in the beginning of the pandemic, our fish truck came late enough in the day on Friday that the manager in charge decided it would be best to let the fish stay in their boxes over night and work the fish in the morning.

That didn't go too well either.

But today?
It was bad.

Like.
Having fish in their boxes for longer than planned usually means a lot of fish die.
After all...if the boxes get too hot or too cold or just have the temperatures change too quickly....we have fish die.

So having the fish show up a day later than expected.....
Like it left to come to us at 1130am yesterday.
It should have come to us sometime yesterday evening. Like around dinner time. 

But it showed up around 9 am this morning.

And we have no idea why it was delayed. *shakes head*

But yah.
I figured it wouldn't be good news for the fish in the box.
Because again, who knows what happened in that time period.

430.
We had 430 dead fish in our shipment today.

Like it felt like every box had at least four bags of just completely dead fish.

Most of that number was ghost shrimp. (which yah isn't quite a fish but it came in on the fish shipment) as we must have had like 250 or so come in and like...only maybe 30 made it? :S :S Yeesh.
The other main contributor to the death toll were our guppies.
Lost basically every single bag.
I think we had like...three bags escape out of a good twelve or so bags.

So yah.
It wasn't pretty.
Definitely smelly. 

Hopefully it doesn't happen again...but with the pandemic who knows. 

Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
