Cool Fish on Diver's Den

Giovanni and I are in the same boat. Where I live, an LFS is hours away. While DDs refund policy is definitely nice, and I've used it on several occasions, for me it's also about seeing THE fish I'm going to get. That's as close as I can get to picking out a fish at an LFS without having to make that long drive. While there are a few other sites who have wysiwyg, their listings are usually very sparse, so I'm stuck with DD whether I like it or not, lol.

I also like knowing exactly when new fish will post. I like getting the email telling me what is coming and the one telling me what posted at 5 pm central. I like knowing exactly when my fish will ship. I like knowing my fish are pack very very well. I like being able to get a refund to my CC. Most other vendors guarantee is for onsite credit only. I also like that if I spent enough for the shipping to be free (I always get free shipping) and a fish is lost, I am getting a full refund. Not sure you get a CC refund or full credit from others.

There are people here who make their dislike of LA and DD clear every chance they get. That is cool with me, but it would also be cool if they did that in another thread, not one clearly devoted to DD.

Here is one of my favorite fish I purchased from DD.

Advertised as a Juvenile Christmas Island Goldflake. Aside from the very vibrant color, the only real difference I see from this one and other juveniles on the internet is that the spot in not round and bleeds over to the tail a bit. I believe this one was listed back in June of 2014.

I've been searching for one of those for a while. Haven't had any luck.

I am with you. Even though some of the fish I buy are considered more common, I like to buy ones that have better color. If I get a fish with a poor personality, does not appeal to me as much as it did or eats a coral I cannot live without, I find it a new home. I have a very good fish trap.

This purple masked angel (paracentropyge venusta) is cebuan and was grown from a 1" size to 2-1/8" in Kevin Kohen's 28g mixed reef tank. I purchased it 11/03/2015. It is now about 2-3/4 inches and has a fat belly. It was eating enriched minced mysis, brine shrimp and Docs Eco Eggs in his tank. It now accepts anything I put in the tank including flakes and pellets.

It is a very busy fish and hard to photograph. It does not seem to hide until I get the camera out. I think the little guy thinks the camera is the eye of a big predator!

LA had posted it on FB and I knew I had to have it. I paid though the nose for it but I knew it was disease free and eating. It has been worth every penny!! I was very luck to be fast enough to get it!!
 
giovanni beat it to me with that pic. sure is an amazing wrasse.

That is a beautiful fish! What is the species of Angel? I don't recall ever seeing one before.
