    * Why are the shipping bags so small? - I ship them using special breathing bags which require little water and no air. To work properly, these bags must be surrounded by air. Do NOT acclimate them in these bags - remove first to another container or bag. See this page for more acclimation info: Shipping & Acclimation

    I'm not worried about it, just don't know what to do when the little guy gets here! would a normal plastic bag work?

    Shipping was $50. Only 5 more than Live Aquaria!

    Just go to your LFS and get a couple of different sized bags, they usually give them away(if they are really nice) or sell em for like 10 cents a piece. Then when he arrives gently pour the water in a new bag and tie it up. :)

    Well, I think what you might have to do is a Drip Acclimation, That would slowly adjust the fish to the PH and tank levels and temp... and such..
