After almost two weeks, and over 48 hours 'in the bag', my new additions have arrived safe and sound!

Please don't be dead! Please don't be dead! (What is that sachet thing?)

Not dead, just lots of poop. (Glass shrimp, supposedly Paratya australiensis)

Meet the family - baby Bolivian Ram unimpressed.

So, you come here often?

Why did I buy this? 'Lace fern', whatever that is...
I'm sure my Moonlight Gourami will just eat it.

Thanks for looking - this is my first time ordering fish and shrimp online, so I am probably too excited (and relieved).

Lovely fish and shrimp! :) Glad they all arrived safe and sound for you. Just out of interest, what and how many fish/inverts/plants did you buy?
 
I must say I love getting fish through the mail, oh my goodness is that so much fun!!!

Thanks for sharing!

Fish-Addict, I got three pandas, 10 of the glass shrimp, and one 'large' lace fern, which turned out to be two good sized stems.

I say that same prayer/mantra whenever I order or ship anything live? Funny huh?

Yeah, I hope I'll be less worried next time. They actually delivered to our neightbours (the 'street' with the same name as our 'lane'), but I had a premonition and nabbed the package of their doorstep - could have been there most of the day.
