I have not found any copper in their water, but I also have heard conflicting answers from them about that.
If they had copper in the water, would it take 30 days for a fish to die from that? That's really the part that's giving me pause...why is it most of the fish die between days 21-30?
I have gotten around 15 fish from Live aquaria since May this year. Have had 1 DOA from Wisconsin biota mandarin and 1 helfrichi firefish lived about 10 weeks. Rest of them are doing great so far.I’m curious about whether or not this unreliability some of us are seeing is recent? How many LA supporters have bought fish in the last year?
I have. Just promoted to the DT today actually.I’m curious about whether or not this unreliability some of us are seeing is recent? How many LA supporters have bought fish in the last year?
That is so strange!This year starting from january till today I have purchased probably about 30 some fish from live aquaria. About 75% died in quarantine.
Most of them were purely under observation and not even medication
Do we know for a fact that fishy business and saltwater fish don't use Quality Marine? Or are you saying they take better care of the fish before being able to sell them?I changed to fishy business and slatwaterfish last 3 orders and only 5% deaths. Same qt setup nothing changed.
My personal obsession is fish I got from LA looked sick small and not so active while others I received are more active healthy and better in size.
Okay...I just had no idea! Do you have any conjectures as far as what the deal with LAs mortality rate is?Saltwaterfish box is drop shipped from a wholesaler and it's not quality marines as I have googled the address before.
Fishybiz not sure as it had their own address on the box.
Interesting.Most of mine had internal or external parasites on arrival. I am speculating that they might have gone through an outbreak.

In the last two years here is a list of some in random order
Two Flame angels from Xmas Islands all perished within a week, went back and ordered two from Vanuatu and created a pair.
Chevron Tang from Xmas Islands perished in same fate, Chevron Tang from Hawaii doing great!
Four Regal Angels from Maldives doing great
Blue Face Angel from Maldives doing great
Blue Face Juvenile from Sumatra dong great getting her adult colors
Flame Wrasse Hawaii doing great
White Tail Tang doing great
Black Tang doing great
African Imperator doing great
Tail Spot Blenny doing great
Zebra and Scarlet crabs all doing well
Most fish go into more of an observation tank loaded with liverock, if I see something I can easily transfer into a medicated temporary tank. Freshwater dip and Prazi Pro bath before observation tank. I have not used copper in years.
Large Tank for Angels
29 for everything else
I can agree with this. I purchased 2 tank bred clowns, 4 tank bred azure damsels, 1 pyramid butterfly, and 1 flame hawk. The clowns, and azure damsels looked great at first, then the next day or so saw flukes on a clown. The clowns and 2 azure damsels died within a few days, and then the butterfly died. I will not ever purchase and QT tank bred and wild caught fish together again. I might try ordering fish from them again because of their guarantee and customer service was excellent. I did order a CUC that comes in on Friday. But truthfully I prefer getting critters from my LFS.Most of mine had internal or external parasites on arrival. I am speculating that they might have gone through an outbreak.
