Shipping a Diamond Goby

[hawkbait]

So I've never had fish shipped to me before and I'm looking to get a Diamond Goby, to sift sand. My actual local store's saltwater tanks are rough, they have nice freshwater tanks and I support them for that. I want to know if Diamond Gobies ship well and if Live Aquaria is a good place to get them? I've had my salt tank for almost two years and just want some new life that does something different.

hi, not here to say bad things on LA, but feel that they have become the walmart of fish shipping.
@danieyella and @Crabby48 may have some good reliable opinions.

Hello I haven’t used live aquaria as I see them as Walmart of this hobby also. I haven’t herd anything bad about goby’s being hard to ship.
I only buy fish from dealers who qt or at least condition fish

Divers den has always been good to me, regular liveaquaria is very hit/miss. I generally rely on Reef Beauties for online.

Placed an order a couple weeks ago with rb and everything made it safe despite an extra day sitting in a UPS facility with the exception of one tiny pom pom crab.
