If it was a shallower bucket you wouldn't need the holes. But you need to take care what you put in your tank also, bucket-wise... not so clean on the outside usually.
Glad to hear it seems to be doing better.

My biggest concern about the bucket is the lack of oxygen exchange. That big open mouth thing is an attempt to get at any lingering O2 in the water column. So keeping that water clean and agitated and staying the course. It's probably not that uncommon a symptom of shipping stress. As long as it gets it O2 and doesn't suffer any damage I would think (hope) it comes around.
Good luck with the rest of the tank build and keep us informed how it goes..
