They arrived all alive, wahoo! In fact, they're all still alive. They did arrive very, very small, though. I quarantined them for a few weeks without issue, still small and pale. However, after I put them in my community tank, they colored up SO much and really grew and came out of their shells. I had heard previously that they're shy, but mine are not. They are the absolute stars of my heavily planted community tank!
My lovely fish, Harold, arrived in excellent health and he's absolutely beautiful and full of personality. He's enjoying his 5 gallon planted tank and really loves to eat live daphnia.
