Nate told me he bought all but one of his fish from liveaquaria. One of his wrasse’s was from P&C. He has a lot of fish. I believe he told me he has had100% success with liveaquaria. Nate, Vince and I did a purchase from vividaquariums. I lost a hipo tang and two ocellaris’s clowns, one during shipping and one during quarantine. I did quarantine all of the fish for two weeks. Whatever they were infected with killed my flame after I added them to my main tank. Weird thing is all other fish seem to be ok knock on wood. Guess it should have been longer. Vince also lost his ocellaris from that same order. I will try liveaquaria next time. Be patient they usually restock fairly quickly.

I ordered for the first time several weeks ago and everything even the PBT is doing great. Not a single loss or ill looking critter. That was my first large online order.

Vivid aquariums has been OK for me. They seem to have decent livestock and good customer service but nothing at least for me has compared to live aquaria. There livestock has almost always been exceptional and so is their customer service. I would say that vivid aquariums is pretty good but live aquaria is by far the best. Of course this is based on my own personal experiences so it could just be luck…

Oh and I haven’t had 100% luck with live aquaria either. I have lost fish from both places. So no place is perfect, I still prefer live aquaria mostly based on their great refund policy and great livestock. But no place is perfect, except maybe the Reef Shoppe in Rochester. They are really good

That will have to be our next trip! I am thinking we can all make a trip up there for the next time they have a frag swap. Their frag swaps are big and lots of people have stuff for sale/trade. We can also hit up the LFSs while we are up there. I will keep my eyes peeled for the next frag swap up north...
