I've been trying to get pics for about 2 weeks, but the little buggers are too fast.
anyway...
I ordered 10 central longears, 4 pumpkinseeds, and 1 green.
he sent 12 central longears, 5 pumpkinseeds, and 2 greens.
shipping took 2 days. the fish were packed by species with the longears in a bigger bag than the other two. 2 of the longears were doa, and the water was rank, so I didn't waste any time acclimating and put them in the 40G. One was swimming poorly and ended up dieing withing the hour. the greens and pumpkinseeds were dripped for an hour until they were in 3/4 new water 1/4 delivery water and then they went into the 40G.
I put the doa's in a bucket up against an airstone for a few hours, but no resurrections occurred.

I ordered 15 and ended up with 16.
some, or maybe all, ate some frozen daphnia about 4 hours after going in the tank. all have continued to be starving little maniacs that swarm the glass when I walk in the room.
I consider this to have been a good buy.
 
Sounds good to me. Sucks about the DOAs.
 
@ Rairdog, he said he ordered central longears.
Brain has always done well with shipping and sending extras just in case...
Congrats on the new buy!
 
no missouri longears are available at this point. I already have the louisianna longears from last year and they are around 80% red so I went with the centrals for more blue.

I tried for pics again last night, but blur blur blur.
 
ok, out of 50 or so attempts, these are the best pics I've been able to get. they're still growing good, I'd say most of them have doubled in size.
