Place to purchase high quality fish

Renee (Incognito) and I have more fish from DD than anywhere, and we have LOTS of LFS as well as the wholesalers near us. Nobody is 100% perfect, but DD has their game together.

I used to have that whole "I wanna see the fish first" attitude, but we've lost more LFS and "personally-cherry-picked" wholesaler fish than DD fish.

Additionally, most LFS's these days are playing it safe due to the economy and mostly carry boring, "meat and potato" fish (clowns, tangs, etc) they know they can flip quickly.

 

My Male Lyrtail just died. LA gave me credit but I only purchased him with the females so I could have a trio =-(. so far the rest of the fish (who will come out of hiding at least) appear to be doing well

 

Sorry for your loss

 

do you know what the cause was? maybe you didnt acclimate him long enough?

 

I do not know what the cause is, water parameters show 0. I acclimated over an hour

 

well you never can really know, its always hard with shipped fish its actually good that you only had one casualty. think of the glass half full.

 

I am about to place an order with Ibluewater. I have been e-mailing back and forth and the knowledge level of the staff really makes me trust them. I will post a review once I receive the livestock.

 

Anthis and tangs are sorta like that. Despite what people say, sometimes they just crawl under a rock and die. That being said LA is my numero uno place to buy fish. I've bought three, and other than an unfortunate nem incident a year after purchase nothing has died.

 

I look forward to seeing a review on iBluewater.com. They have some really nice live stock. What are you ordering?

 

Ordering a trio of lyretail Anthias, Black clown, yellow mimic tang, mandarin and a bi color goby. Probably a clam as well (thanks Cosmo).
