I've noticed a few posts lately bashing LA, and I've chimed in myself with my negative experiences. Well, I thought I'd share a positive one too. I like that they frequently send coupons and have sales. I had a 20% off $150, plus $20 in points there so I went for it. The order turned out great, probably the best I've gotten from them so far.
At my own peril, I don't QT. I don't recommend anyone follow this. I suggest QT if you are able. Anyway, the order was received on Tuesday. Did the standard float for 15 mins for temp, and then a one hour drip acclimation. The next day, the fish are all out and about. They all ate frozen brine and appear fat and happy. Not a single sign of ich, flashing or scratching. I was pretty stoked.
If anyone is interested, the fish I got were:
Ruby head fairy wrasse
A Blue-Dashed Algae Blenny AKA Red Spot Blenny (my new favorite algae eater, super cute)
Royal Gramma (a mainstay in my tank, lost my last one after the second round of Prazi in the tank)
I also ordered a bunch of CuC that was all good. Just one scarlet reef hermit was an empty shell, otherwise great. Got a blue tuxedo urchin listed as size small, was actually very small, about the size of a quarter, so perfect for me as I love small critters and watching them grow.
