New shipment - too cold?

[twotangs]

Just received a couple things VIA UPS next day air. First bag was unbox and took the temp of the bag. 65 degrees for an open brain. Seams pretty cold to me. Do you think it will survive? Bags floating as we type...........

Well the acclamation is complete and they are in QT. Both were quite chilly........I guess time will tell. A Lobo and and Scoly

Maybe, time will tell. I have had stuff that cold die and other make it.
Live Aquaria?
Was there a ice pack in it?

Cold is much better than hot. You can slowly bring it up to temp.

Yep Live Aquaria, no ice pack but could have used a second heat pack

Yea the problem with heat packs is they need oxygen and some people seal the box too tight so they do not leak water but the heat packs go cold then.
I have had that so many times. You can tell because they reactivate when you open the box.

It was warm when I opened the box. Box was not taped completely shut but the Styrofoam inner box seals pretty good on its own. Hopefully they will make it.
