Okay, here is what I know at this point:
The order was dropped off at the airport in Texas and has been booked on the early morning flight for tomorrow.
Providing there are no delays from weather the shipment should get to Metro Airport and be ready for pickup right around noon at the Southwest Air Cargo building.
I would like everyone that ordered to PM me your cell phone numbers so I can let you know if there has been a delay.
Also, for those people meeting at the airport, as long as the flight is on time I plan to only be there until 12:30.
Therefore, if you are running late it is imperative that you call me.
Also, please PM me if you plan to meet at the airport.
My cell~(248)982-3576
p.s. I do not send/receive text messages

Please post your opinions of the fish you received here.

Since I was able to see everyone's fish, I have my opinions but want to wait and see what everyone else has to say first.

Ah man... nothing like adding to the suspense of getting the fish home to check them out!

Since my fish did not make this shipment,  it will be very difficult to a provide feedback only to say ARGH !

I am still looking to add a couple of Calvus to my tank, specifically an Inkfin and a Muzi Gold Face Calvus, if anyone has any that are 1" or bigger PLEASE let me know.

They were just out of stock at the time of filling the order?

I'd like to thank Tony for putting the order together.  My opinion in no way reflects on him, but rather the company we did business with.

My personal opinion of this order can be summed up as "disappointed"

Of the three species I ordered, two of them had a fish that didn't make it.  I felt that the fish should've been bagged in larger bags, and observed several species that appeared to be smaller than advertised on his list (these weren't my fish, but fish that I picked up for others to make it easier for them to get home.

I guess I feel with the prices that he was charging, I expected more.

Yeah - I totally understand that they were out of stock when the order was filled...

I had my hopes up that I was finally replacing the two fish that I had killed...

Just a little disappointed that they were not included.

I would also like to THANK Tony for managing this order, it's is not easy having to deal with so many people's inquiries about the order and then for some fish not being shipped having to deal with those people as well.  I do not envy Tony's position at all...  THANK YOU TONY !

Huge appreciation to Tony!  I am ansolutely thrilled to finally have these guys. Unfortunately 3 were lost in shipping and one did not make my long drive home with them... Now I'm concerned about getting the gender ratio I'm shooting for with only 11 (optimistically assuming no further losses).   Also, ten of these fish seem smaller than advertised, whole one is considerably larger than the rest and showing enough aggression in the acclimation bucket that i had to srperate him/her.   I'm hoping the rockwork in the actual tank will make that less of an issue - but, while experienced in fish keeping, this is my first adventure in cichlids and was hoping not to start out at a disadvantage.   I'm not sure how I feel yet - I guess that is likely to depend on how things pan out in the near future.
Hope everyone is having fun with their new additions!

I would really like to see some pictures when everyone gets home!  I saw a lot of stuff I really wanted but just wasn't in the budget for me this time around.

ATTENTION PLEASE.... The people that ordered fish and had fish that did not survive, I need you to email me pics of the DOA's if it's not already too late. I am trying to get credit for the fish that died. Unfortunately, it will be a credit towards a future order, not a refund (which is standard procedure). The only refund will be for the items that were not shipped, i.e. Matt's Julidochromis and dkoch's 2 Altolamps.

Also, please be sure to post any opinions and/or complaints so I can forward them along.

Oh, crap!  I didn't even think to take a picture!  I just got rid of the dead one before my kiddo noticed it!
