Are Diver's Den fish really any healthier than other fish

[ca1ore]

My question is - what is an 'expert fish' - ie what are the criteria?

LOL, I’ve often wondered the same thing. Presumably it’s some calculation about the likelihood of a fish surviving in captivity. A fish can be expensive based on collection difficulty, but be pretty easy to keep (certain angels). Conversely, a fish may be easy to collect but very difficult to keep (Tuka anthias as example). The cynic in me would expect a high level of correlation between price and expert only .....

you can go hit up the humblefish qt fish people and their prices are either similar or cheaper a lot of the time. no 2 weeks guarantee from them, but they at least do a full quarantine.

Can you send me a link to this please?

I have purchased many fish from DD and have had awesome success and healthy fish every time.. Liveaquaria tho.. not as good as I hoped.. but still better than the local fish stores..

I wonder how much has to do with shipping times for example - shipping from CA to NYC is a lot longer than shipping from WI to IL

you basically have to send them an email to ask them about certain fish

fwiw humblefish wasn't taking orders as of a week or so ago he said he's moving, but the other two seemed ready to take orders.
