Update : .......Liveaquaria called me today and said the plane had to make an emergency landing in Pheonix {reason not given} and that the fish would be upgraded to priority and should arrive tomorrow by 1:30 pm . . . .the lady assured me that they were packed with 72 hrs of oxygen and could go longer in a bad situation - and if there was any concern at all they had flagged my account with a shipping issue and I would be taken care of . . . . thats todays update, hope to see happy fishies tomorrow .....Snowboss

lol yeah right....well it's 2:30 EST and no delivery yet - -so we'll see - -I'm thinking we're getting close to being on borrowed time - - in the event that someone is on right now - -I'm going to use the drip acclimation method, I have a 1 gallon tank im going to use - -can i put the clowns and the snails in to acclimate at the same time or do one then the other?

do the drip with the fish..the snails just take a cup of water out of the bag and replace it with tank water. do this 2 or 3 times then toss em in

Update: Fish arrived somewhere between 3 pm and 4:45 pm - - reason I say that is FEDEX just left them on the front porch ..............{Boss isn't happy}

BUT....

after being in transit appraox. 28 hrs longer than expected and getting 3 very cold bags of water - - i floated the bags for 20 minutes - -dip a drip acclimation on the 2 clowns and a float acclimation on the snails - - -the clowns were very active right out of the bag and the snails are in tank and looking for hiding places - - Liveaquaria quoted 3/4 to 1 inch fish - -i got 1 1/2 fish easily, i ordered 5 Nasasrious [SP] and I got 16 !!!!! so other than a bad expierience with FEDEX - -LIVEAQUARIA.COM gets a huge two thumbs up from the Snowboss

oh yeah it even said "knock hard on back door" on my shipping label - - I was sitting about 3 feet from the door......so they don't read the labels...lol
