My Tank Thread
My understanding is that Live Aquaria very rarely ever even handles their own fish. They have employees that coordinate fish to be shipped to customers directly from the bulk suppliers.I know this, I was trying to say that they handle their fish completely differently, that they aren't an online embodiment of petco. I should have been clearer in stating that it wasn't true that live aquaria was a bad vendor.
Petco gets the exact same fish in the exact same condition as you would get when you order from Live Aquaria. Where Petco tends to fall short is the conditions they maintain in the store. There is no reason a Petco couldn't have an excellent marine fish department. It all depends on store management.
