I ordered 1,000 small FHM from Anderson Minnows. They made it here around 5 pm on Friday. I followed the instructions letting them acclimate and released them. But there were a ton of the belly up in the bag, after 15 minutes I released them anyway and it seems like maybe half of the floaters were able to swim away.
I didn't attempt counting but would you consider this acceptable or should I email them about it? They didn't say they include extra for dead loss, but they may have.
Here are the minnows once unpacked:
Here they are 15 minutes later after I released them:
