6 Berghia and phyto. I used that $ 50 discount code that Dinkins so graciously gave out awhile back if you posted on their thread.
I did this too, except I just got the berghia. I am sure they will be fine jn the heat. Dinkins packages their products with the destinations weather in mind. If the do arrive DOA, just shoot them a PM and they will replace them, no questions asked.

I order mine a while back, and I am just now seeing baby berghia!

Ya, I’ve been ordering from them since they started out and I agree with you about the packaging. I once had an order that was screwed up and they corrected it immediately, no questions asked. This is the fourth time I’ve used Berghia. Here’s one looking for food after the aptasia was food when the aptasia was gone.

Hi Walker how are you doing today?
 
Hi Walker how are you doing today?
Hi Joel. I am doing alright, thanks for asking. The dogs are distracting me from what happened yesterday, so I am not as emotional as I was when Dixon died. How Are you doing?

I'm good Walker.
75 and sunny, cool breeze was just checking in on you my friend. :smiling-face::smiling-face-with-sunglasses:

They're doing good! I just got done cleaning number 1 and number 2, and bathing them since one of them peed in their crate and jumped around in it. They are just being normal puppies, chewing everything and always being super hyper.

Puppies are so much fun but also so much work!

I remember 20 years ago we went to Cooperstown in August and I thought I was going to die!:anxious-face-with-sweat::rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

@tbrown , look what I came across driving from the doctors office to the infusion center. Not open yet but I looked inside and it is just about finished. Can’t find it on google or Gruhub. Can’t wait to see if the Swiss mushroom burger is as good as I remember.

I love their Frisco burger!
 
Sorry Amanda if I made you think about food. I had a bowl of rice for lunch today.
I had broth with rice and chicken again... :face-with-rolling-eyes:
