My roach chaps arrived safely, the were acclimatised to the tank and joined their new chums without any problems. They have some work to do and though a bit shy, have started to clean up for me. The shrimps thought it was their job, but must look out as the roaches will get all the good spots. They were packed well, and I loved their little hot water bottle. Thank you so much for the extra dude too. Sue
