Maybe petsmart bought em

Lol, PetSmart has better aquarium prices and choices.

Hopefully the owner will be good

It may not affect the Petco saltwater fish department. They sold saltwater fish long before they bought Foster and Smith/Live Aquaria.

 

[Darrell Brady]

Would that include Divers Den as well in the sale?

Interesting. Hopefully the things that fell off after the Petco sale improve. Following along for updates

Petco bought them.

FYI, my liveaquaria Divers Den from UPS, I’m tracking there live map with my order, free sign up and I get email and text update, helps to know, it’s 100 here!

FYI, what? It's all part of Petco. I live in Texas as well.

Haven’t seen this posted anywhere but Live Aquaria has been sold to an independent company. I am interested to see what direction they go in.

Oh, BTW, customer service girl said Diver’s Den get animals from Exotic ?? In Cal. They go through extensive quarrentine and 4 or more weeks of acclimation! This is from the Milwaukee store. All reps are working from home ‘cause of covid I’m basically only buying from Divers Den from now on. They post new items at 5:00!

I have no idea where the animals come from. That’s nice that they are working from home though! My source just mentioned to this to me in passing when I said that I wanted to place an order soon.

They would be stupid to sell something that is making money for them.

Unless they need cash to stay afloat. Times is tough

You want mushrooms?? We’ve got 30 or so that are moving around the tank, also have 10 or so in quarrentine tank when we put live rock and fish while husband replaced overflow in main DT. Ordered 8 new fish, put in 20 gal. Mushrooms are tiny and growing. These came on huge LR bought years ago!

No kidding. Do you know if this is true for just the regular stock, as well? Or, is it only Diver's Den? I have a Wartskin Angler coming tomorrow, not from DD.

Are you sure you're in the right thread? I'm not understanding your posts.

Edit: Oh, you both live in Texas so you're offering some mushrooms. Got it. Still a bit out of place for this thread. Please try PMing instead.

Maybe @revhtree pooled our membership fees and bought it! Deep discounts for R2R members!!

we can dream, right?

She made it sound like Only Diver’s Den goes through this policy, call is recorded but she Really stressed it. I lost ruby red headed fairy wrasse, She found Blue headed on Divers Den, she even found a credit of $34 from 2008! With my lost little Chromis and wrasse, applied credit great customer serve!!

Sorry dude!!!

 

[Fishingandreefing]

I really don’t care what they do and who owns it. I just need good prices and the 14 days guaranteed like the good old LA. If not, I will move on to the next competitor, I don’t have time for this.

 

[Brandon Smith]

I am pretty sure Petco gets most of their saltwater fish from BIOTA. They bought liveaquaria.com and ruined IMO

 

[BZOFIQ]

As weird as it sounds, I never lost a single fish bought at Petco, except a leopard wrasse that decided to carpet surf.

Is Petco perfect, no - plenty of dead or diseased fish in their tanks...but if you chose carefully.....
