Has anyone ever ordered the harlequin tusk from petco.com? I wanted to get one but I am not 100% sure if its the indian ocean or Australian that they send.
 
I didn't know they sold fish on their website... But it would probably be IO, cause they would mark it if it was Aus.

Aussey HT are on sale this week at LiveAquaria, and they also have Indo in stock!
 
The one my buddy got from them was an Indo - it did well for a year or so then died for no apparent reason.
 
Petco gets all their fish from qualitymarine.com they also sell it over priced, the two they received were indo, I has asked them to order for me, but I bought mine cheaper from the lfs, petco want to sell It to me for 80 I got mine for 60..

They get captive bred fish from ORA
 
I was looking to get an australian HT so that is why i was asking because sometimes they mix fish up.

Gill bucket: petco.com is different from petco stores. The fish I have ordered from petco.com always came in healthy and fat.
 
the pic on their site is an Australian; but the price defiantly says Indian Ocean. there is no way anyone is going to sell Aussie tusks for that price, its typical of the price for I.O. tusks, though.
 
I'm sure they would pull the
Your live fish may not match the image shown due to natural variations in each species. Each companion animal is different in shape, color, and personality.

I like the way Petco calls the female BlackSpot angel a Japanese Swallow Tail. She is definitely a blackspot.

Most places use those names interchangeably, as well as Zebra and Lyretail...
IMO even if the picture was labeled correctly, there is no guarantee that, that is what you will receive.
I see mislabeled fish at LFSs all the time, and their answer is "thats what they were sold to us, as!" (by the wholesaler/distributor)

Yes, I agree but you would think after selling so many fish, they would know by now what fish is what and at least label them correctly.
 
That's why I stick to a very few lfs I have gotten to know well as being reliable otherwise mostly with only one or two online vendors that have great reputations
