Liverocknreef - has anyone bought fish from them??

I am always scared trying a new site for the first time. Has anyone had any experiences with this company before outside of liverock?

I have been looking at that site for a little bit. I think theyre legit. I seen they have small captive bred Blue Tangs for $80.
The minimum tank size they have listed for said fish is 30g, though. So, I dont know how legit lol

Edit: to have a fish shipped is $80. Thats the shipping cost.

Yea the site does not really seem to push me to want to buy but they have some solid assortment. I hope someone else chimes in with some experience because I can not seem to find anything online. The rock seems pretty good depending on what type you buy from them, and most online reviews of the rock are good though their are not many. That is just the rock though.

Iffy on them, some of their minimum tank sizes is way off.
Funny that they happen to have flamboyant cuttlefish though.

It’s odd. I had to double check just to make sure it actually was $80. I added a screenshot that I took of the fish in the cart. It’s definitely deceiving.
However, at the bottom of the page they say they’ll call you after you place the order to get you the cheapest shipping option possible. I don’t know about that.

I am going to send them an email about it tomorrow and see what they have to say! I will keep everyone posted. You live in the US - correct?

Bump

They quote high then work with you on shipping. The website leaves a lot to be desired. I have not purchased fish from them but I do have 20 pounds of their premium rock and it is really nice. Full of life, macros, sponges, a gorg, several coral types all doing very well.

I hear good things about the liverock! You are another example of this. Am yet to hear one single person getting fish from them though. Waiting for a response from the company I asked them quite a few questions haha.

I bought rock from them and its awesome and he did call me before to see about lowest shipping and how to ship it,if you order he will call,email him also he does reply also.will order from him again in the future.was thinking about just having a rock tank natural from ocean that how beautiful the rock is with sponges and creatures on them with different kinds of algae’s plants.put a few golden butterfly fish in it and call it good. still thinking about it.

 

[SauceyReef]

The first time I ever got a tank I got some established live rock from a store. I still have corals from 10 years ago that popped off the rock! I cant imagine the beauty of getting some real established rock from the wild reefs. TBS used to this I think and you would get mantis shrimp. Super cool!

I emailed them and waiting for a response. I will keep everyone updated.

I’ve dealt with them before. Liverock had a lot of die off, like a ton. To be expected when they refuse to ship in water. When I’ve inquired about shipping in water they were rude and unprofessional, to the point where I won’t be doing business with them again. They are definitely a legit business though.

 

[SauceyReef]

They never responded back to me! Look's like they won't be getting my business.

 

[Montagne]

Bump, still looking to hear about someone’s experience with fish pls

 

[SauceyReef]

Sounds like there is none! Not sure why they would have not replied to me through eMail either. Seems like a warning to stay away if you ask me. Hopefully someone else can chime in down the line.

I bought from them before rather live ocean rock then dry rock and will buy from them again very soon ,when you make an order they will call you for shipping prices and you pick the 1 you want .they have figi live rock right now straight from the ocean from figi just got in about 1 month ago.best place to buy real live rock from ocean.

If you got it overnight not a lot of die off if you wait 2or 3 days it will have a lot of die off during shipping depends on want to want to spend. I didnt have no die off got it over night.
