Although this event seemed to have been relatively successful for most of the people (meaning at least 50% of the people who ordered had at least 50% of their order fullfilled), I have to admit that I did not enjoy this experience. As of this moment, I'm pretty sure that I've lost a large portion of the livestock that I ordered to an unknown factor or factors. My cleaner shrimp kicked the bucket before it even hit my tank, and the two peppermints that actually made it to the tank are MIA. Thankfully my emerald crab and 4 astrea snails are still alive. Although I hate to sound negative, only time will tell if they will survive as well.
Although the order didn't go well for me, I still have faith in Ivan to set things right. He has always had a good reputation, and I hope that he lives up to it. Once again, I'd like to thank Harvey and Ryan for organizing this entire thing. Even though it didn't turn out as planned, it was still a great thing that they did for us.
