    Ya you might want to add something for the ammonia build up, like prime. As you add your tank water the PH will go up and make the ammonia more lethal.

    I wouldn't do a slow acclimation. Do a temp acclimation then throw them in your tank. Who knows how polluted that water will be by the time they make it to you.

    I hope they all arrive just fine.

    +1 The sooner you get them out of the bags, the better.

    That's exactly what I was planning on doing. 15 minutes, get warm, and in you go! If they are alive they will want to just go hide in the rocks and get some clean water into their systems.

    Well the lady who called me said the fish are stuck in Memphis, but according to the tracking info they are in Indianapolis. I checked the weather there and they had a big storm with flash floods. I hope everyone is okay! And hopefully my fish will be able to fly outta there soon.
