All 16 arrived Alive. They are all younger/smaller than i expected for a Cherry Barb but that's not an issue, they will eventually grow. Drip acclimated them for about an hour. Once i put them in the tank they were very active, exploring every corner of the tank. 1 day in and they are all still alive, active and healthy while slowly gaining they're color.

I ordered 8 cherry barbs and 3 rainbow fish. They shipped all the way across the country, were a day late (due to a snow storm in my area). When they were finally delivered I did not have much hope for the contents in the box. To my surprise, all 11 fish were lively and healthy. They were pretty washed out, which is to be expected. I drip acclimated them for 2hrs due to the shipping water being 68 degrees and my tank water at 79. The fish acclimated well and are thriving today! I can't even get fish this healthy from my lfs which is only a 5 minute drive from my house. I'll definitely be getting all of my fish from here, from now on!

These cherry barbs came in really good shape. Very healthy and good size.
