Al how long did it take to raise them to the size you shipped them?
Welp I’m starting to get pessimistic. I still haven’t even gotten a tracking update since Monday. Poor showing by USPS...

At 1am tracking was unchanged. Still in CT... At 7:30am they are out for delivery, lol... Hopefully they will be here within the next 2 hours!

I received my package today. I picked it up from local usps before it got sent out for delivery. I lost 1, but rest all look like they will make it
Great news!!!
Awesome.. I've been reading all the updates but it's hard to keep track.... was that the last package that needed to be delivered ?
I think Willie, Tom and Brian are still waiting!!

Your discus are talking to you....are you listening
Everyone has their box now, right? A few folks had one fish that arrived DOA or appearing there was little hope for it. Everyone documented their worry. Everyone's box arrived at least a day late. Willie's box arrived the latest. It's only 55 degrees in MN. Every single fish arrived alive although the box was cold because the heat pack had run out. That is next to miraculous.
I bet that Al will finally be able to sleep now. I never thought that I would care for this contest, but I have read every post in every thread so far. I can't wait to read more.

I think AL deserves one of my best bottles of Merlot.
OH sorry just opened it when my fish arrived. AL I will send you one when the next fermentation is complete.

I'm right there with you, Liz. I've been all-in on this thing like a crazy person! I don't really care about the competition part too much but I do like routing for everybody (including the fish!), and personally I know I'll get to learn a lot. Meanwhile, it's fun to see all of us doing things side-by-side. Hard to imagine it will stay this exciting (which is probably good), but I am curious to see if and when we actually see differences among the fish themselves or in the things we end up doing for them. For now just thrilled that everybody got live fish, and that they're doing so well.
I'm with you Liz and Bill. We all wanted desperately to first see the fish arrive alive, all of them for every person in the contest. It's really all about the fish and then the community here. I am extremely grateful to Al for being the master packer he is. Even now I am at my daughter's house puppy and pony sitting but my mind is on that little 10 gallon tank hoping everyone is ok.

I Think that all this drama has just made up this whole show a much more exciting and thrilling to follow folks .
I bet this drama thing was one of Als well thought PR and marketing strategies to pump up the adrenaline and bring people's attention to this contest lol .
