I just returned from the airport from picking up my shipment from Dan at Cichlids of the Americas. The fish were supposed to arrive yesterday evening but were delayed at their last stop and were due to arrive 5 hours later than estimated. So I went to the airport last night around 10PM central time to pick up the shipment and when I arrived, the guy at the cargo facility informed me that the fish didn't make their last flight due to an error made by the cargo facility at the previous stop... Frustrating to say the least... This error would cause the fish to be stuck in the box for literally double the time that they were supposed to. Despite this, i only recieved one fish DOA, but Dan threw in extra fish in the order which more than made up for the one dead fish. Overall, not bad considering the trouble with the shipping companies! I would assume shipping process was a little more difficult for me as i shipped internationally into Canada. My experience ordering from Dan has been great. Great communication and a really friendly guy.
Heres a video of the fish and some short footage of my other fish that im currently keeping. Please excuse my poor videography. Even I got a little dizzy at times reviewing the video lol.
I will be making individual threads to track the growth process of the fish so stay tuned!

 
Sucks that the shipping messed up, but at least there weren't a large number of DOA.
They look very cute.
 
Awesome mate, there's gonna be a few bruisers coming outta that lot no doubt lol, enjoyed the video too thanks
 
Nice pick ups! Dan is by far the best Vendor for Quality Cichlids IMO. His Beani are outstanding!
