Ordered two fish from live aquaria- tailspot blenny DOA and a green clown goby which is riddled with ich. Live aquaria will only refund to DOA. Their rational is that all fish have ich and shipping stress can bring it out.

While that is to some extent true, I still think it’s pretty crappy to receive a blatantly sick fish. Live aquaria used to be much better back in the day…

I dont have my QT set up at the moment so I gave him to a friend to copper treat.

Heading out to WWC today to see whats in stock since they pre QT all their fish.

That is pretty ****, I'm sorry to hear that! Guess that's a shop you're not gonna use again!

I have made a stand and I am not buying any livestock online. Period!

If there's anything I want, I'll have one of my two trusted fish stores here in Glasgow but it in for me so that I can see what I bring home.

with them two weeks ago. They sent a butterfly that was scrawny and barely alive. I spoke to them, sent an email and pictures but never heard from them. I complained to Paypal and got all of the money back through Paypal.
