I have only gotten a handful of my fish straight from the shipping box the first two times I did similar methods as Mindy and Brad however both times my fish died whether it was from stress or illness I know not however the other times was straight into the tank from the bag after a heat acclimation without any loss of life.
It is important to note that while I haven't lost any fish through what I do I also am rolling the dice per se every time I do so as I don't run a QT nor do I medicate any of my fish so I also run the risk of introducing unwanted illness into my tank.
