Well I paid for the fish and it shipped out Wednesday on next day delivery and USPS never sent it out of the Sacramento sorting facility.. My fish is still there and I had to do a complete run around to get a hold of someone and get a case opened. he opened two cases, one for live animal and a regular one.. I was supposed to get a call back by the end of the day but I didn't get a call. At this point I'm hoping for the best but it doesn't seem like things are going to turn out positively. I hate usps for this exact reason..


Never use USPS as a carrier. Always use FedEx or UPS next day.
 
I wouldn't have used usps had I known i had an option. I personally hate usps and when I saw that it was shipped by usps I immediately had a feeling things would turn out badly..
 
The fish landed in texas at 7:30 am.. I hope he's doing ok and gets to the nearest facility to me so i can go pick him up so he doesn't have to sit around all day to wait to be delivered..
 
I got him around 11 am, he was just fine when I got him home and since then he has been in the tank! here's some photos of him after being in a bag for 45 hours. I let him hang out in the water for about 2-3 hours (without any lights) some sunlight barely hitting the tank. I turned on blue lights and my florescent and left my white leds off. he's full of energy and swimming around. There were a few ghost shrimp i couldn't get out with a water change and he is hunting them like crazy lol.. I want to thank Jesse Hoover as well for his awesome fish and his patience with me while I asked dozens of questions about flowerhorn. Great seller I would recommend him to anyone, I'm happy I got the fish that I wanted! Also thanks to everyone here who answered my questions and helped me along the way.

Good looking FH. Glad everything turned out fine.
 
So I got the tank finally finished. Time to grow him out.. trying to resist the temptation to buy more and partition my tank lol..
