I ordered a Diver's Den Two Spot tang this week from Live Aquaria's Diver's Den. On their website, it claims that all Diver's Den fish come from their Wisconsin Facility.
According to them, their Wisconsin facility is nicer and has a better quarantine setup and process than their California facility. They also have different salinities at both facilities so it is helpful to know which one you are ordering from to make acclimation easier. This all sounds good and in my order confirmation email, it confirms that the order is shipping from Wisconsin:
With all this in mind, I was quite surprised when my tracking number came in and said the fish was being shipped from California.....
Now I am wondering if I actually got the fish I ordered? What else are they being less than truthful about? I guess I am going to order the rest of my fish from Dr Reef (who I have had a very good time ordering from). I reached out to support and was told they have that livestock in both facilities, which does not make sense with Diver's Den.
At this point, I am mostly writing this post as a warning to others that their Diver's Den is not what it appears to be, which unfortunately, is kind of the point of it.
At least the fish is healthy and active.
