I am really sorry to hear this. What fish was it?

Six line wrasse. Didn't break the bank. Ate a bit the 1st day then didn't want to after that. I'd hate to see what the unhealthy livestock they decided not to ship looked it. FWIW, it did not look unhealthy.

That's quite generous! Nice website too! I may take you up on that soon - but I don't mind paying a business with good practices. Perhaps I will add some others as well. Even if I bought a quarantined fish I'd do my own as well, I'm just paranoid like that.

I need to clean the quarantine tank out and finish federal taxes before my next attempt. Taxes are rough this year and the clock is ticking.

Might you be the person I saw (well, listened to while doing chores, so didn't even listen as closely as I would have liked) that humblefish had interviewed recently?

If you plan on doing your own qt. We can send you conditioned fish. This way you don't have to pay higher prices.
My offer stands and we will be happy to give you those 2 fish (sixline and dotty for free) whenever you are ready.

So I'd blocked off 7 hours tonight to try to bang out the end of my taxes, without going into deets to bore people fidelity screwed things up horribly so I'm going to be busy nights for a while after work, when I'm incredibly tired and shouldn't be doing that.

I did just browse your site a bit more and you have some beautiful corals. I noticed paypal and stripe as payment options. Would I be able to pay with a credit card and just have paypal mediate it - I've seen that. I'm sort of anti-paypal and don't want an account with them. Stripe I've never used but might be okay going that route.

Oh and those frag packs look amazing and very reasonable!

Also I moved recently and am basically starting over. My coralline algae is doing very well so it's time. Before I moved I had become infested with the biggest purple vermatid snails I've ever seen. It came in on a coral and I mistook it for a new branch. So I like that you quarantine those as well.
