Yes, that's a good point, maybe that's the reason they don't require a
signature. Like I said, I really didn't mean to be putting them down that
much. I like good communication whenever I order most things, so next time
I will phone my order, and ask any questions.
thanks,
bob

you don't have to sign for them because if they require a signature and
you
are in your bathroom taking a shower when they come then your package gets
taken back to the facility (at the end of the day) so best case scenario
is
instead of getting your package at 11am you get it at 8pm. I guess they
figure its better for you to get it earlier than later. They overnight
the
fish from san diego so you are probably getting them ~20 hours after being
bagged, add 9 hours to that and I'll bet you would have a lot higher
mortality rate. What they are doing is smarter for the fish and incures
more liability for them because you could not be home until that evening
and
then when you get the fish you could claim losses that YOU were
responsible
for and blame them for it since they have no way of knowing when you got
the
package.
I was pleased with aquariumfish, although I wouldn't go buying ghost
shrimp
from them, $.40 each is riddiculous, some of their fish are really good
deals, others are not.

I wanted to thank everyone who responded, in one post, thanks! I am
encouraged that the shrimp may be well, after all. And probably they
are
Amanos.
I do wish I had prepared by having a smaller, less crowded tank to start
the
shrimp and smaller fish in. The Panda Corys are incredibly cute.
I'm
glad yours did well Leigh. Can you tell me how big they are now?
Someone said aquariumfish.net sounded like it was not a good place to
order
from, I really don't want to put them down. Mainly I would agree with
Leigh
that email service was lacking. I also did not have to sign for them,
and
that really surprised me. If I ever order from them again, I will do it
by
phone and ask questions.
thanks again,
bob
