    Both look beautiful. I have bought from them before. A blueline angel that's just a little more than the blue face. Are you gonna get just one angel for your tank? Blue face is more aggressive then the other one that you picked.

    Decision made! I ordered the Maculosus from NYaquatic.

    Suggest you to ask the package to be held at the delivery center so you can go straight to pick it up when it's there, instead of it getting on a truck and going through the route.

    Great idea! I'm assuming that one I have a tracking number, I can do that online?

    Yes. He (Michael) last used FedEx to ship me the blueline. I used the tracking number to request the package to be held at a local kinkos center. Package arrived at 9:30am, and I picked it up 10 mins later, saved at least 30 mins to 1 hour for it to be processed and routed.

    Maculosus is en route. I will be picking it up from FexEx shipping store as soon as it arrives this morning.

    So this ended up backfiring on me. I signed up to receive an email notification when my packaged was received at the delivery center. I received a message at 11:00 saying that my package arrived there at 9:00. Stupid FedEx. Oh well, no harm, no foul. The Maculosus looks beautiful, although different from the photo on NYaquatic's website. Mine is a sub-adult with transitioning colors and the photo was of an adult. No matter. I am extremely pleased with my selection of Angel. I'll post a photo when I turn the lights on tomorrow morning.

    That sucks. Just call them next time to check status. That's what I did and let them know it's a live animal thus getting status is important.

    Well, think on the bright side, at least your fish isn't sitting in some truck bouncing around and getting scared. Even the 2 hr wait is not ideal, at least it's in a temp controlled and vibration free environment.
