There's a chance if they were packaged with a week long journey in mind but frankly I wouldn’t hold my breath.... Sorry...


Turns out it’s the 18th not the 20th like I thought so there’s a better chance of him surviving.

What company? What's the teaching info by say?

Imperial Tropicals has said fish that got delayed in the mail have survived a week before for them so it's possible.

It obviously depends on how well wherever you ordered packed them as well.

Ive received fish from Imperial 4-5 days and fine. These were all 2" in size and packaged individually with O2.

So all depends on fish size and how they were packaged. And if they were fasted correctly.

depends on the packaging like mentioned, I've heard of some people having lost fish in transit for 2 weeks and they were alive so, best of luck!

I know someone locally (I think it was) who had a big shipment of fish delivered, threw the boxes and packing in a corner. 2 months later went to clean it up and found a forgotten betta still alive buried in newspaper. But, I think flowerhorns won't be so lucky.

I found a 2 gallon bag of small tetras that got misplaced during a move 3 weeks later and all were alive. About a dozen mixed of neons, harlequin rasboras, black skirt etc. all sitting in a styrofoam box.

Sorry for your loss and on top of that they sent you the wrong fish. I personally would get my money back and go elsewhere.
