They look very healthy and greedy on chironomids
(bloodworms) and prawn eggs.
In the same shippment there was a mullet-like or
Atherinid-like looking fish that I have no clue what
it is. I will take a picture and upload somewhere for
identification purposes. Thank you

I have successfully shipped silversides as well, Menidia beryllina, inland
silverside. a very nice looking fish with translucent flesh and a glowing
yellow bar running down the back bone inside the fish.
