Pacificislandaquatics.com and bluezooaquatics.com both have way better quality live stock the LA, just my personal opinion. I live in ca and they ship from ca and still have a less than 50% success rate. It's all hit or miss.

That's weird. I live on the east coast and have never lost a fish or coral from LA. But have lost 2 from blue zoo. If anything I prefer to buy fish from LA diver's den.

no, nothing is wrong with LA, just that the DD doesn't have the fish I am looking for.

I have never read a good thing about aquacon. Have you ordered from them before? I have read they take payment send the wrong (cheaper) fish then won't refund the money.

Where in NYC are you? Manhattan aquariums is one of the cleanest lfs I have ever been to. They are w 54th iirc. Also nyaquatic.com he is in Yonkers and has great stock too.

For the love if all things holy, stay away from aquacon. Paid for midas blenny, sent poisonous canary blenny.
