Sharing what was going on around here this morning. ;D
I made a trip to the post office...brought this home:

The heat pack temp

The bags' temps
(http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc306/paulinemi/Jons%20Blues/JonsBlueAngelsDayOne%20015%20%201_zpsfxdvgxzd.jpg) (http://s218.photobucket.com/user/paulinemi/media/Jons%20Blues/JonsBlueAngelsDayOne%20015%20%201_zpsfxdvgxzd.jpg.html)
The first bag...I love it when I go "WOW" when first seeing the contents
(http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc306/paulinemi/Jons%20Blues/JonsBlueAngelsDayOne%20016%20%201_zpshujxgg45.jpg) (http://s218.photobucket.com/user/paulinemi/media/Jons%20Blues/JonsBlueAngelsDayOne%20016%20%201_zpshujxgg45.jpg.html)
The second bag...another "WOW"

Floating the bags. Michigan State Basketball kept me occupied while waiting for the temps to match. MSU won. ;D

And even more. I've always wanted a blue marble. I love this fish
(http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc306/paulinemi/Jons%20Blues/JonsBlueAngelsDayOne%20022%20%201_zpswczkuf3p.jpg) (http://s218.photobucket.com/user/paulinemi/media/Jons%20Blues/JonsBlueAngelsDayOne%20022%20%201_zpswczkuf3p.jpg.html)
The awesomeness continues
(http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc306/paulinemi/Jons%20Blues/JonsBlueAngelsDayOne%20023%20%201_zps4xwheruf.jpg) (http://s218.photobucket.com/user/paulinemi/media/Jons%20Blues/JonsBlueAngelsDayOne%20023%20%201_zps4xwheruf.jpg.html)
Still more awesomeness. This is a very lovely blue marble paraiba. A special angel. The white blotches actually look like stainless steel

The group except for the one that was kind of shy
(http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc306/paulinemi/Jons%20Blues/JonsBlueAngelsDayOne%20026%20%201_zpsg4dxibvj.jpg) (http://s218.photobucket.com/user/paulinemi/media/Jons%20Blues/JonsBlueAngelsDayOne%20026%20%201_zpsg4dxibvj.jpg.html)
A not so good picture of the shy guy. He's very, very pretty

Thanks Jon for sending these lovely angels to me. I love them. I'll be sure to post updates as they settle in and color up.
Beautiful!
You're welcome. I'm glad that you like them. They should color up more as they settle in too.
Thanks for showing the HP temp, and bag temp. There was. also, another HP in the bottom under the styrofoam container....heating the box underside the container, as well as the container has worked well for me when I've shipped in colder weather. I simply add HP's for the extreme low temps...a la box in a box...the packing insulation material is eco-friendly too..... ;D
One of the other boxes that I sent arrived safely with L144's....however, the third box is set to hit Ellisville tomorrow for Liz. I hate waiting........
Here's an update on these pretty angels. They're settling in nicely and the little piglets know I'm their source of food now.

They all have fat little bellies too... ;D.... Looking very good Pauline, their colors are popping now...I really like the PB blue marble paraiba's, but those blue leopards turn me on....... ;D....
The blue leopard is a real looker. It's the smallest one in the group but definitely catches the eye. That leopard pattern is quite nice. :)
BTW....the only blue wall in the tank is the one on the far end of the tank. ;)
Those are some sweet looking little Angels. As always those are some great pictures Pauline but I think those guys can even make my pictures look good. ;D ;D ;D
I like number 3 best and number 4 second best. What is the lighter colored one in the second pic called? I have one with similar coloring.

2nd pic....blue smokey veil....likely to be the bluest at maturity...???....
The blue smokey veil, second picture, was difficult to photograph which is why his dorsal isn't shown at its best. He kept charging around trying to find food.
Jon is Liz's favorite a wifi? I normally don't like wifis due to their propensity to keep the dorsal closed down and/or having a kink in the fin. I don't see that in this fish...it's actually a lovely fin.

Thanks Willie. Jon sure can pick nice ones out for us can't he. Of course it's due to his breeding nice ones in the first place. ;D

Yes, but it is more an almost wifi....the dorsal fin is not as complete back towards the caudal fin as some get, nor complete on the anal fin to caudal .....that 'sail' fin will keep anything from collapsing... ;D
What awesomeness Pauline! Wish I had room for some like those.
