How many goldfish in my new Fluval Spec III?

I will never order another fish online. There is so much that can go wrong and little that can go right.

1. I don't know if the merchant instructed the post office to hold the package. It was an option you could select when ordering, but does that mean the merchant contact the post office? 2. Were breather bags used to ship the merchandise? The bags were small, clear, unlabeled, and double wrapped. Does this sound like a breather bag? 3. There was maybe enough water to fit in a soda can and an equal amount of air in the bag. Does this sound like the right volume of water to ship 4 fish with? I am definitely not going to say the merchant did everything right and the post office didn't. 4. When searching online, Bob's Tropical Plants has many bad reviews. Did I make a mistake by ordering before looking through all of these telling reviews? yes

I print my shipping labels through USPS and the label says hold for pickup. Why didn't you just have them shipped to your place of work? I've done that many times.

2. Were breather bags used to ship the merchandise? The bags were small, clear, unlabeled, and double wrapped.

Kordon breather bags have blue printing on one side of them. They also feel different from normal bags. Also, you don't leave air trapped in breather bags.

Thanks you Dennis. Since there was air trapped in the bags, I think we can conclude they were not breather bags. I'm out of the office at work quite a bit. Who is going to sign for them? Also, when you have a hold at post office option when ordering, why would you worry about a specific address where you can sign for the package when it is supposed to be at the post office to pick up? I am done talking about the dead dwarf rasboras. That ship has left the port at this point.

Fish in to fuval? bad idea
I think never fish in less 30 litres (8 gal) long tank.
I do not know how much that tank, but surely you can take a better for less money.
In that tank keep scrimp only.
