    When I saw the title of the video, I expected a significant die-off due to a late shipment. I'm happy that most of them survived the trip and are being taken care of. I love how caring you are Joey for fish that aren't even yours.

      He loves his hobby. He’s in a great place and is enjoying his life, what’s not to laugh about having a good time? He had a rough past so it’s great to see he’s enjoying himself now. Good on him. Been subscribed to Joey for well over 4 years now and the fish he keeps have essentially saved him and made him the incredible guy he is today. Hope he can come to a UK expo in the future and meet him 👍🏼

    Sorry this happened. Just a tip though from someone who unboxes thousands of fish weekly; when you've got fish that have been in boxes (in the dark) for several days you need to unbox them in the dark not under super intense filming lights or even normal lights. They don't have eyelids, unboxing in the dark is best practice.

    Not sure if Joey will ever see this, but temperature acclimating by floating in water should help the water get up to temp faster than leaving the bags in air even if it is kept at the same temperature! This is because water is better at conducting/transferring heat than air and has a higher heat capacity. Just thought I would share this science tidbit - thanks for all the work you do in this channel!
