Thank you everyone for the continued replies and information and support. I will give the CPDs another try and hope for a little healthier batch. I am seriously considering ordering from Aquahuna. I am aware that the fish they send do not look like the beautiful colored up fish in the first description picture. The fish that I can get locally, when they’re available at all, are of similar (prob worse) condition than the other pictures and reviews on Aquahuna. I have seen a few good things about Aquahuna so far, and even with the shipping, they would be basically the same price as the LFS. It seems like these fish are not quite as hardy in the beginning as some of the research and information would have you believe. I am not going to give up on these fish all together. I will give them another try or 2 and hopefully with some luck and diligence I will have my dream aquarium with the CPDs swimming happily.
Again thank you everyone. I have gotten more responses and support than I expected I would, and in a very short amount of time. I wish you all good luck in your aquarium and life endeavors.
