I didnt realize that orders shipped on specific days, so it put my project for my Betta's tank on hold, but not a big deal! I was more concerned with weather and the plants arriving safely as we were hitting the upper 80's in the northern adirondacks! So glad i got the ice pack for my plants. They were nice and cool when they arrived and i received more red roots than i actuality needed, so now im saving them for another take project. Plants are super healthy and i only found 1 snail which now lives in my daughter's mini paludarium tank she set up for it lol
