Hello,

I placed an order on LiveAquaria for a nice pair of clowns. No delays in shipping, they showed up early actually.

My concern is that I'm going to be stuck at work later than expected. So instead of heading home a couple hours after they showed up (right around now) I won't be leaving until 4 with an hour and a half ride home.

I can't see into the bags as they're blacked out so no clue how they fared in transit and don't want to open them to check until I get home.

I've open the box and checked out the bags, no signs of leakage and the water feels fairly warm considering the temps outside currently. Heating packs that were taped to the lid are still somewhat warm as well.

Is there anything I need to worry about? I have some ammonia detox at home (don't recall the actual name, think it's by seachem). Mostly concerned about the extra time in the bags.

They should be fine, as long as their kept warm. Most heat packs that fish and coral shippers use are good for up to 48 hours.
