Still waiting for mine here in Atlanta. On the truck yesterday for delivery, never showed up. Probably spent the night in a parking lot at 16 degrees. A sensible person would think delivery by 10:30 am would stick even if the shipment was delayed.... but... preparing for icicles.

In that case, I would put a couple gallons of display water in a bucket. Then match the salinity there. Once fish are in the bucket, acclimate to the display.

You can't use the drip method in this situation, as discussed.

Why would you not quarantine?

All I can do now is track my package on the tracker, but that sometimes fails, so I'm waiting
