They're here! I was so excited when their box came. I believe pictures speak louder than words, so here are some pics I took.

| Getting them acclimated, fifteen minutes of bag dipping |

| this one is my favorite of the two, a robust male with great short tail ryukin body structure! |
 |
| the female is a little worse for wear from the shipping, I have been treating her with salt and hope that she doesn't get an infection |

| another shot of the male, they are so chubby and adorable! The pictures really don't do them justice! |
I got them and my little girls were so excited when I opened a box and there were two live fish inside! I was very pleased overall with my experience with Coast Gem USA, their fish are reasonably priced and so far I'm finding them to be of good quality, my female fish definitely didn't take shipping well, but I'm wondering if it's because she's such an active fish and really struggle around in her bag a lot during the shipping. My male fish however is doing incredible and look and acts as if he wasn't even shipped.
Will keep my blog updated on the female and on how she's doing. When I first got her all she wanted to do was bottom sit. I could definitely tell she'd struggled in her bag a lot cause she had some torn fins and some of her scales were ripped a bit. Her eyes also were pretty cloudy. As of this morning she's swimming around with her dorsal fin raised and is as active as the male. A good sign, and if she heals up and doesn't get an infection she should be fine.
