Hello everyone, just stopping by to say hi.

Guys im dying without my fish. Since they died not too long ago in that ammonia spike, algae bloom fiasco a couple months back, I really miss the life the brought to my tank. My LFS has always had the best fish selection, and they still do. Im just very selective now, and know exactly what I want. Does anyone have a good online fish vendor recommendation? Or should I even order fish from the internet? Im just trying to pick everyone's brain. I need my wrasses back!

Dr Reef is supposed to be good but for Wrasses he usually sends an extra for some varieties. He's not always the best at IDs on wrasses so sometimes he's been reported to send the wrong one...

Appreciate this Tim.

He just randomly sends extra fish!?

Everything is going well. Just been very busy with the fishscooper working on getting more stores to switch over from a traditional net.

I hope your tank is striving now that the aiptasia is gone.

He asks on the order form if you have room and with certain fish he sends 2 instead of just the 1 you ordered. Typically they're the "harder to ship" fish (wrasses).

Thanks my friend. It is! I recently made a post on your thread about it.

That's pretty cool actually!

I think @JoJosReef may have received a few extras and a few mislabeled wrasses.

He sends you an extra one, to cover his wrasse!

Normally two leopards, as it's highly likely that at least one will not make it. Halichoeres are slightly better shippers in his experience, as he told me back when I was buying wrasses from him, so he would ship one of those. Not sure about Halichoeres other than chrysus though. I've only gotten one fairy from him and that came as an individual.

@uter Im trying to be a bad influence.

Stylophora Colony – FIJI – PINK

Beautiful Stylophora Colony that's full of color! Please note that it is normal for SPS to lose some of their color during shipping. Given proper care and tank parameters, they will color back up over time. There will be white/colorless areas on this coral from shading and possibly old dead...

www.corals.com

The contrast would be insane!

 

[kingranch2003]

I have ordered a bunch from them and they do not disappoint. always good sized stuff. and free ship over $200. I highly recommend them. maybe Kev can walk over and hand pick the stuff for us in the future?

I just wish their website name was a little clearer about what they sold. I mean, Corals.com? That could be anything!

I feel you. My local LFS spots are limited. My butterfly came from Alyssa's Seahorse Savvy and did well (once I fed it white worms), my rabbitfish came straight from Biota

Goodnight folks.

Oy. I'm sleepy. Good night y'all
