Cramers Craibbean Critters?

[Kingumar]

I ordered some dwarfs from them this past friday and no response yet.
They dont pick up their phone, EVER, i left voice message. I also emailed them and no response. They didnt send me any shipping infro or anything.

I heard good about them, before i ordered i asked them many questions and got a reply the next day. I just wanted to see if anyone has ordered from them recently?

I really want to be home when they arrive but they didnt send me any shipping info. idk if they've been shipped

I have placed an order through them as well, was great service! As a matter of fact I just placed an order for some dwarfs today, they had run out of them and just restocked so maybe that is why you have not heard anything? wrong of them to do if that was the case.

My local reef club used to frequently order group buys from him, the last one got cancelled right at the last minute as he couldn't get the order together in time to ship on the arranged date. I didn't arrange the GB but I have a feeling it ended sourly as we haven't done one since. We never had any issues before that though.

yeah i got an email today, they said they just got the seahorses so they'll ship it monday

Well i can wait

Post photos when they arrive! Good luck with them!

Will do! This is my first time with seahorses..

Iv been told by everyone. "get ready to lose some if not all". Its scary lol. But i heard that anyone who starts with seahorses does go though this!

I just received my order from Dana yesterday, and they are fabulous! I have never had him not respond to my emails and he's excellent with packaging and mailing out orders, if he is running behind or not stocked he has always warned me of any delays. I would try emailing again.

This is my second time ordering from him, I ordered 3 pairs last month, and two died recently, but the others are doing great. Yesterday I received 2 more pairs and two nerite snails, he sent 3 snails, two of which had teeny ones attached to their shells. So far I am very satisfied with Cramer's.

Good luck with everything! They are the cutest things ever!!!!

I personally had a bad experience a year or two ago, and know of several others who had a similar experience at that time. I get the sense that things really vary with this vendor.

I ordered from Dana twice, My first order, (40 zots and 6 erectus) all died within 2 months, I dewormed, and they were all eating well, water perams were perfect, they started dying from day 1, 2 one day, 1 the next, until they were all gone. no apparent reason, they didn't look skinny, no hydroids, don't know what happened, the second shipment was a little better, i ordered the same now, 6 months later, 6 erectus still alive, but down to 6 zots. on the other hand, I picked up some CB erectus and CB zots and they're doing just fine, all alive and even breeding!

how often do your dwarfs breed? I just want breed them soo bad :beachbum:

Mine would breed all the time, I can't say for sure how often but it seemed as soon as they had they babies they would get preggers again.
