Woah!!

That's excellant news Joe!!! I can't wait to see her in person!! Now she can rest and continue to grow until May!!!
We received 3 of our fish tonight from Kevin!! All went extremely well. What a great improvment in service compared to Delta Dash!! NW Cargo will be my carrier of choice (when I have one) from now on. I took some welcome home photos that I've included. They aren't the best as I'm not the greatest photographer around

and I have Elbegin in the tank as well so the whites look a bit dull as well. We didn't want to handle them more then was necessary also. The shiro came in a bit pinked up, but within just a few hours she was already getting her whites back and doing well. No jumpers so far either. They seem very comfortable in the Q-tank. Already peeking through the window checking things out. In a couple days, after they have rested, I'll pull them and take better photos and measure them. Plus they'll go on some Pearl Barley are garlic cooked up in a day or two. Kevin said they haven't been fed in some time so before I fast the entire herd, I'll put the new girls on food to get their energy back up and the gut moving again. Since they have pretty much gone through a fast, I may just heat the Q-tank and keep feeding them as well.
The Showa is from Nagashima (Kindai); the Kohaku is from Marusei; the Shiro is from Hiroki.
