I ordered a Desjardini Sailfin tang and Emperor Angelfish from LiveAquaria a little over 4 weeks ago. Both fish arrived and looked ok. I did my regular drip acclimation and added both fish to the QT Tank. I noticed the emperor angel was breathing very rapidly. On the 7th day evening, I noticed...

I have heard that liveaquaria used to be a legend but, they were bought by Petco and turned into trash. Are they beginning to recover are they still somewhere you buy or are they lost?

I’ve seen posts from about a year or 2 ago and back saying that they are one of the best places to buy fish online, but recently I’ve only heard negative things about them. Something about changing ownership? I’ve also heard something like they get their supply from the same place petco does...

Curious on everyone’s experience buying an Ocellaris Clownfish from either Liveaquaria or Bluezoo? Bluezoo has some captive bred but no mention of ORA and Liveaquaria has ORA clownfish. I’ve ordered from Bluezoo in the past with no issue but just for inverts and coral. Curious if the...

Hey R2R fish friends, I’ve been on the hunt for some fish and find that the ones I’m going for in Divers Den seem to go quick (note I’ve been happy with all of our Divers den purchases 6 fish no issues). I see them available in the California facility but have heard rumors that the live stock...

I just recently (7/5) purchased 4 leopard wrasses from @LiveAquaria and was wondering what everyone's experience has been with them.. I've heard that they drop ship the non-Diver's Den fish from wholesalers at a lower salinity. However, aside from that, they are a question mark to me as a first...

Hi Everyone, I’ve had some bad luck with leopards lately that’s been compounded by the lack of availability due to Covid-19. I’ve tried 3 and only had 1 survive. Sadly, that one recently jumped out of the tank... So, after extensive research. I’ve decided to have another go. Eventually, the...

Hi all, So I thought it might be cool to add some macroalgae to my DT: green finger, shaving brush, or mermaid's fan... I have a 150g mixed reef tank. about 6mos old. This is my first reef tank. Looking at liveaquaria.com, those are the three I'm interested in...

I'm about to start my new tank up; might fill today or tomorrow. I will be running Chaeto in the fuge to home some pods and to export nutrients. It's set up with a big ol' Kessil grow light. I intended on grabbing some from Algea Barn with some pods. Sold Out. I then went to look at...

Sadly, my first online order resulted in the Midas Blenny arriving DOA. Also received a Diamond Goby who is stressed, but so far still alive. Acclimated him to temp and salinity (1.018 from Liveaquaria)...he's in the QT resting but still breathing a little heavy... watching him closely...

Hey guys, I recently bought a few things to boost my fuge from liveaquaria. Im wondering if I have to rinse/ qt this stuff- http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/1127/red-gracilaria-feeding-algae-aquacultured?pcatid=1127&c=3468+2190+1127...

Longtime R2R reader, first-time poster. Earlier this morning I received my first batch of online ordered coral frags (3 acros, 2 Montis from liveaquaria.com & 2 Acros, 2 Lobos, 1 GSP and 1 Dragon Tounge from pacificeastaquaculture.com.) Here's an acrylic frag rack that I made using a piece of...

As I've heard that it isn't recommended to quarantine a Mandarin, I was wondering what reputable source i could obtain one from. Is Liveaquaria actually a good source? I've never actually bought a fish from them so i have no idea myself, so I was wondering what other people thought.
