Any order fish online? What are the survival rates?
I want to order this little guy because I can't find one locally.

So I gues it's a crap shoot. Are fish allowe to be taken across the border into Canada?

Well I just placed the order. I red all the Canada customs stuff and I don't see anything about that species not being allowed. So we'll see come Thursday.
I've done a ton of reading on them. He's gonna be solo in a 150g planted tank. 48" x 24". I know it's a hair on the small side. Only thing I hope he doesn't mind is I have fluorite topped with larger gravel.

He made it without issues and customs was very understanding. I did my homework and had proof of it so hes was pretty nice to me.

I placed the order Monday but requested Thursday delivery so he shipped wendsday. One day shipping. They don't ship to canada but I live right by the border so I got it shipped to one of those parcel places, ship happens. Was off work early. Waited for the tracking number to say delivered then went and walked across the border. Picked him up and walked back across the border. Done. All said and done he was in the bag for about 20 hours. Tough little guy but he was double bagged in a cooler full of peanuts and a heat pack.
