    Thank you everyone!

    I've had the shipment for several hours now, but this is the first moment that I've had to sit down and shoot you all an update. Sorry Al! I know you're on pins and needles shipping all these fish! Shipment arived without any issues whatsoever. No leaks at all. The temp was a bit cool. Bag water was 78 and tank was 85 so I floated for an hour.

    I removed each fish by hand and placed them directly in to the tank. Every one of these guys was ready to rock and roll the second they hit their big new home. At hour 4 they had their first bloodworm feast. I plopped the cube in, went in to the kitchen, came back and it was GONE!! Very hungry little buggers!

    Anyway, attached are some additional photos. Enjoy!

    Best wishes!

    looking good Chad. they look so tiny in that tank . it's something about the tank that makes their color a little more vibrant IMO but i can't pin it down to something specific. maybe they are just really happy and they have brightened up for you already? good luck
