Thanks Gabriel I'm glad they arrived safe.

Really glad the fish arrived unscathed. I recently went through a similar kind of worry but the wait was of a different order of magnitude, had some Aphanius mento posted over from Malta. They took 11 (ELEVEN) days to arrive, 7 out f 8 were alive, a little washed out but otherwise ok and probably even the eighth would have been ok if the breathable bag had not burst. Good job killies are less fragile than discus

11 days omg !! I can only imagine the misery. I take so much guilt when these situations happen to me, that these fish get trapped in small bags and I placed the order. I'm glad they made it safe, sucks that the last one died due to the bag.

The little fish always handle late delivery better than big fish. They all look good but the blue scorpion (if that's what it is) looks a little dark.

Yeah! I noticed that too also one more who's hiding behind a sponge also seems to be darker. Hope they get better by the time I see them after work.

They all came from the same breeder. It's probably nothing more than stress. Keep a close eye on them and keep their water clean. I'm sure they'll become acclimate after a day or two. If not I can help you. I've been through it all and have learned a lot.

I lost 2 of 10 fish on a fed ex delivery. They left on a wed for Fri. delivery. Warehouse closed in route and I didn’t get them until Mon. I was shocked that any of them lived. Kenny packs fish good! Needless to say I don’t do Fri deliveries anymore. Glad yours are made it okay.

That's horrible ! Friday deliveries are the worst.

Once the seller leaves the boxes at the US
PS or FEDEX it can go out of control.
I got a call to pick up 12 boxes of fish
that I didn't order.

[nolefan]

I chanced it and got a box today from UPS from Cali no problems at all .. I didn’t pick the day I just agreed ...

[brady]

I have been to Martha's and buy my fish from her and I can tell you
she is one dedicated lady to the quality of her fish.
I am sure you fish will do OK if you give them the care they need

Guess that is one way to rehome some fish

The greatest reason I despise shipping is because once the box is out of my hands it's totally out of my hands. I once had a box that was sent USPS priority that went all over the country until it arrived at it's destination a full week later. I had already refunded the guys money when he emailed to tell me that the fish finally arrived and they were all perfectly healthy and that he was happy. That's when I got confident that my bagging and packing was top notch. These were Angles though. Discus never would have survived.
