ElmoC Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I would imagine any fish collected by a spear gun would not last very long. Link to comment
tetraodon Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 I would imagine any fish collected by a spear gun would not last very long. oh yea, a huge open wound near their tail, and would never last more than 24 hours, Link to comment

1.0reef Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I would imagine any fish collected by a spear gun would not last very long. Larger dragonets are often collected with spears. Link to comment

Are the serving them fully cooked...? But seriously, LA has good stuff. Divers den is better, but I pretty much trust anything from DFS without even quarantining. Link to comment
Neebles Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I have had 2 fish make it, and 2 fish not make it from LIve Aquaria... I have 1 coming Tuesday.... I will continue to use them, they have good customer service, never had a problem when a fish perished. Link to comment
tetraodon Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 good to hear that some people have good experiences Link to comment
Tamberav Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 good to hear that some people have good experiences Healthy fish.. sometimes you lose them in shipping because they are fish. LA refunds $ or store credit (your choice). They don't refund shipping. Link to comment
Halo_003 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Why catch lions/dragonet's with a spear gun? Why not one of those slurp gun things? Link to comment
petkingdom619 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Why not leave them in the ocean. Just don't buy one Link to comment
Tamberav Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Why catch lions/dragonet's with a spear gun? Why not one of those slurp gun things? Probably can't afford them. They make the guns from paperclips, rubberbands and wood. http://www.marineaquariumsa.com/general-discussions/17051-how-mandarinfish-caught.html Link to comment
Hart24601 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I have bought a large variety of lionfish from LA over the years. Dwarf, fuzzy dwarf, russell's, antennata, radiata. had one arrive DOA, they refunded my card no questions asked, no photos needed. The best customer service of any place (including non-fish stores) I have ever used. The others have done well, remember though they will have to be trained to talk dead food. I got them all on frozen/thawed using live ghost shrimp. Diver's Den should say what they are eating. Link to comment
