LiveAquaria website down?

[winxp_man]

Check out Premium Aquatics. Prices may not be equal to LA but they do an amazing job of packing and getting it to your doorstep better than what you can buy locally. I buy all of my LRS food from them as it is better than what I can pick up locally.

I think they only ship on Tuesdays. Great to work with and I've read similar posts both here and elsewhere. If nothing else worth reaching out to see what they say and carry.

Just got a email that Premium Aquatics shipped me something that has been delivered today. I don’t know what it is though. Being I have not ordered in any thing from them in a month!

Are there any other good sites that have fish in categories with information about them?

Two TI heater bars, a 300wt and a 500wt haha.

They filed for bankruptcy.

If anyone has anything they need i'd love to help them out.
We have equipment, dry goods, and one of the largest inventories of fish.

If you guys have the ability to something like LiveAquaria did with the quick reference information on fish, that would be amazing!

Anyone else having issues with @LiveAquaria website? I’m getting 502 bad gateway on Safari and Chrome.

I ordered a naso tang and goby from them with overnight shipping. It took 5 days to arrive and they were obviously dead. No one answers the phone or responds to emails. They did however keep my 200 bucks. So I imagine they are out of business. They ripped me off, and I think that's what people waiting on orders can expect. I filed a fraudulent charge with my bank, but have not heard anything.

This is all so weird, at the very least a company closing makes a statement ahead of a closure. This on the other hand is like the whole company along with it's employees were kidnapped and thrown in a hole or the whole operation was seized by authorities lol.

Hopefully they were all thrown in a hole to rot. 200 bucks is not that much money, but it's the principal of them just ripping me off that really ticks me off.

Does anyone know if Live Aquaria had a R2R presence or an email? Maybe it would be possible to email them directly to ask for a refund on shipments

Shows they haven't logged into R2R since April. PM'ing here would likely lead to a dead end as well i'm afraid.

I wonder what they did with their current supply before filling and selling… pretty quiet exit

Their banner is still on top of R2R

Can’t wait to use my 5% back!

oops! @revhtree

That lucky guy has a new grandbaby and tank to play with, let alone all the other things he does. I wonder how he gets the time for it all?

For those that haven't seen this video from WWC from earlier this year there's some history from Kevin on how Live aquaria started,

 

[jasonrusso]

If they are gone, I can't say I am surprised. I have never had a good experience with them.

They were good back in the day when it was Foster and Smith. Petco really ruined them, and they never recovered after they got sold again.

I used to love foster and smith as well for pet stuff

I’m glad you had good experiences with them.

All my experiences were when they were Fosters and Smith. I found the fish quality to be poor and the customer service to be even worse.

I can only speak to my experiences but I am truly happy that you had good experiences.

Fortunately, I discovered an online retailer that has an amazing selection, the absolute lowest prices, high quality, 14 day no hassle guarantee, and the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. I’ve conducted over a dozen orders and have spent just under $6K with them over the last three years. I only go elsewhere for high demand items for which I can’t pass up (e.g. baby Clown Triggers).
