This huge storm really put a damper on my day.

The huge storm that is invading the midwest tonight cause FEDEX to advise SWF to not ship fish. I was so excited to get the three dwarf angels I am getting.. I have got my quaretine tank all set up for the Stupid storm, i am glad they waited to send them though. But I was all excited and now have to suffer through the anticipation for a few more days. Hopefully they will still be able to come this week.

No sorry I am getting 3 dwarfs. I am getting a Multicolor, Flame and a Lemonpeel and they are going into a quarentine tank that I have that is sectioned off 4 ways then I will put the in my tank and section the tank off for a while. There is already a potters angel in the tank but he is currently in a fish trap and I will add him to the sectioned off part of my tank when I add the other 3. They will be closed off from the rest of the tank and from each other so they can see and smel each other for a while.

200 gal. there shouldn't be a problem i have put alot of thought into this. Also they will not be in conntact with each other for weeks so I am not letting them kill eachother right off the bat and then expecting a reembursment from SWF.

LOL...I have a 225G with a coral beauty and a flame angel....and have never had any issues.....I think 2 (maybe 3) in a big enough tank should be ok...it' the little tanks that they do not do well in

I also have close to 200lbs. of live rock so there shouldn't be a problem with territory issues. I am really excited for these fish.

We currently have 2 angels in a 20L QT right now and they are getting along fine. I'm sure it is because we put them in at the same time. We were prepared to sections off the tank if needed but there was never any sign of aggression. I had 2 in my 120g for several months and never had any problems. I doubt that SWF would reimburst you if they killed each other because they very clearly state that more than one angel should not be put in a tank

Four dwarfs seem like a lot even in a 200g but, Ive never had dwarf angels only large Angels. Good luck hope everything works out
I have been thinking about adding a dwarf with my blueface but, not sure I want to risk it. !!!!STUPID STORMS!!!!

No shippment again today. The storm dampens day 2. Hopefully they will ship Thursday because I will be gone mon. through wed. next week so i will have to wait untill next Thurs. to get them. Owell. The suspense is killing me though. LOL Also I couldn't get out of my house today. The snow would not let me open my screen doors. 4 wheel drive barely got me out of my driveway.

I live in West Michigan we got around 18 inches of snow in about 5 hours last night. I got stuck a few times plowing my driveway. I agree the fish are better off SWF tanks than in a box in 15 degree temps right now. I was told FedEx won't guarantee the live overnight shippments right now as well and everything is being rerouted through Memphis.

I am getting my fish tomarrow! I have to go pick them up from the Fedex facility because it is still too cold here for them to deliver them but I could not wait until next tuesday just so they would be delivered to my door. I can't wait for tomarrow.

Ya, aparently if the forecasted low for the day is below 20 they won't deliver but I would think that it would be colder in the plane that high up but the plane may be heated I'm not sure. It is only like a 15 minute drive anyway so no big deal.

It's hard to discribe the yellow of a Lemonpeel...it's like orange juice or orange flame yellow..really pretty! Congratulations, I love mine and I'm glad all arrived safe.
