Nanoreefjoe Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Does live Aquaria have quality fish and corals? What is your experiences with them? Link to comment
GMay Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I have order from them twice and everything has been fine. Link to comment
Travis Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Their standard fish and coral are OK, but I prefer to only buy from their "Diver's Den". Every fish/coral/invert is quarantined for like 6 weeks before they go up for purchase. They treat for infections and parasites. Can't go wrong with their TOP NOTCH customer service. That being said, I only purchase live animals from them and them only. Link to comment
seabass Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I agree with Travis, Divers Den is my prefered place to buy fish. Also, I often buy inverts from their general section, Link to comment
braaap Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 It has been about 4 years since I bought from them but I never had a single issue. The one loss I did experience one week after arrival they sent me a new fish the following day. Link to comment
Pancetta Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I did not know that Diver's Den does a 6 week quarantine. Thanks Travis Have never purchased from Liveaquaria but know people that have with good results. Link to comment
Travis Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Yep. Here's the link. http://www.liveaquaria.com/general/general.cfm?general_pagesid=425 They also train the fish to accept frozen and pellet foods commonly used in home aquariums. Link to comment
Horerczy Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 And if they can't train it off a food they'll tell you what it has to eat. Link to comment
neverrain Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 The ONE downside with Live Aquaria (and Divers Den - which isn't their fault) is the shipping costs. You also need to watch out too, because their entire stock isn't in one location, it's in several. The list on the right side of the page where it's shipping from, but if you ordered 2 items and they ship from 2 locations, you are paying shipping twice. EDIT - Wanted to add, I have ordered hundreds in coral from them over a couple years and have never had a problem. Their customer service is top notch as well. Link to comment

And to be fair if you do order from two differ locations, the shipping is half price from the second location. Link to comment
