I believe that they have stopped the codes they send out with shipments and instead run a sale about once every other week or so. The last code I got with a shipment has been months ago at this point

There were lots of really cool wrasse available... The prices have seemed to have gone up on some things a lot

Yea the Hawaii ban is really affecting prices now. It is not just the fish from there but others because it has put more pressure on other fish.

It has also seen allot more fish in not as good of condition come in it seems.

No way this is actually a Calloplesiops argus:

Someone paid a premium for a regular Calloplesiops altivelis...

Fine Spotted Marine Betta (Calloplesiops argus) Item: 0429191263

This is how a Calloplesiops argus looks like:

The key feature that distinguishes C. argus from C. altivelis is that the dots in the fins merge into blue lines at adults.

The Tiger angelfish has been on the site for a week... despite the price I'm kind of surprised it hasn't been purchased yet.

ThRoewer,
Occasionally, I see the fine spot MB for sale at DD, and they do have fine spots not like this particular one. Are they true C. argus?
As far as I know, and I have keep small C. altivelis from very young to adult, they do not have fine spots phase.

Yea. Maybe people know that they can be found for half the price.

I like the "œpair" of mandarin gobies that they sold yesterday for over $100. Crazy to me.

DD had true C. argus before. And given that C. argus isn't just looking different in coloration but also gets significantly larger, has a somewhat different body shape (more "pointed" head/snout even with males), and on top of that a significantly smaller distribution range, it's certainly a good species and not just a synonym.
The whole "fine-spotted" adult phase is utter nonsense and made up by people who never kept a C. altivelis over a significant amount of time.

I don't think this is actually a Stonogobiops dracula:

1-3/8" Maldivian Dracula Goby

This is how the real deal looks like:

But it is also not a Stonogobiops nematodes:

In fact it is a much rarer fish - Stonogobiops xanthorhinica:

(http://www.fishbase.org/summary/4311)

 

[ThRoewer]

Now they listed her (it's a girl) under the correct name: Stonogobiops xanthorhinica

1-3/8" Indonesian Yellownose Goby

Are they now start re-using pictures?

I guess it is obviously not WYSIWYG anymore.

 

[tonysi]

Wow, that's so messed up..

 

[LobsterOfJustice]

Wow that's pretty bad. Seems fraudulent. I would think they could (and should) get in legal trouble for that. Not sure who you would report that to.

Are they still doing monthly coupon codes? Anyone have a LA code active right now?

There was a coupon code a few days ago but only for the day 25% off.

Maybe someone at LA got lazy taking pictures and thought since one yasha looks like the other nobody will notice...

Someone should escalate this. Maybe on social media. Would like to hear from Kevin about this.

Im pretty sure they've been doing that for a while now.

I always made sure to screenshot my purchases also, bc the pics are never included on your "past purchase" history or email confirmation.

One time I had to demand they resent me the wysiwyg pics bc I swear my shipment looked diff.

I might shoot him an email tonight to see if he actually knows about this. I kind of doubt it actually.
