When ordering online the fish come directly from supplier, most of my live stock are "petco" fish and no issues. The time I did, it was very simple to get my money back. This weekend they are having a sale on fish, I'd buy more but no clue what I could add. So I say go for it.

I've had good experiences ordering livestock through Petco. They have a good warranty as well.

Good to know. So not fished (no pun) out of a store tank.

Awesome. Slowly restocking my tank after the great summer of neglect.

Leopard(Meleagris), Canarytop(Leucoxanthus), and Melanurus Wrasse.
Shipped inside of insulated Styrofoam box and in individual plastic bags with labels. They were well packaged and were all healthy specimens at the advertised size.

Only quirk was the shipping notification didn't arrive until the day of delivery so you need to read Petco's shipping policy to see when to expect your order.

Can you return a fish back to Petco?

I just received my first order from them earlier this week. At first, I wasn’t going to order because it’s Petco, but then I researched and found out that it ships direct from a supplier as others have pointed out. It was well packaged, and the fish was in great shape. It has only been a few days since I received the fish, but it is doing great. FYI - as is typical with many online or LFS fish purchases, the water in the bag had a low salinity of 1.015 so prepare to acclimate the fish accordingly. I ordered a white tail bristle tooth tang that was (and still is) on sale.

Petco used to use LiveAquaria and they use Quality Marine now as one of their vendors. And I personally love my local Petco. And this guy came from them. Meet Hewbie!
