SHE'S HERE!!!! Omg my heart sank so hard when she was delivered. The box was soaking wet. I've never opened one so fast in my life. The bags broke at some point in shipping. She was covered in JUST enough water. I really only had enough time to tempature acclimate her and I had to get her in. She was scaring me because she was barely moving and she wasn't fighting all. She got out of the bag and sank to the bottom for just a few minuets but now she is up and moving around and trying to pick a fight witth my dog. Going to turn the lights down low and put a curtain up so she can rest and de-stress but here she is!
For the future, don't worry temperature acclimatization, just pour the fish into the net, and place straight into your tank (since the tank temperature is generally higher than a fish shipped in a bag).
Looks like she's doing well
Seems to be. Hopefully she will still be fiesty when she's had some time to recover from the trip
OMG!
Crazy bag poping fish.
Thankfully she got there ok, that's all that matters.

I talked to
Backfromthedead
and Catness Everwisker had a better trip than Toni, her bags did not burst at least. Said she was healthy and active, so that's good news both made it to thier new homes.

Thats what she did when her tank was bare for a couple weeks. Kept chasing/attacking her reflection.
I know hospital tank, is bare for a reason, I am just saying she may exhibit that behavior till she gets used to it or moved to a non bare bottom tank.

Looking at your pictures of Toni I see that she didn't get any fin rips or anything, well this side of her.
It does look like she got a little rip in her gill plate area I circled it here in this pic
Err well top of her gill plate/forehead area
