I started this hobby in 2020 and purchased a good deal of my livestock from LiveAquaria. I never received sick or infested items.
Jump to 2024 and everything from fish to coral has arrived with disease or bad hitchhikers. My last two attempts at purchasing fish were ick riddled and died during acclimation or shortly thereafter.
Is this anomalous? Am I having bad luck or has anyone else experienced this dive in quality??
What other online options exist I may not know about you’ve had good experiences with?
