Red Coris Wrasse Gaimard

[ladyshark]

Hello

I have been thinking about ordering this wrasse for quite some time, but my research indicates to me that these fish are very poor shippers.

I know your company is very careful and I have had nothing but success with my orders. I know you have the guarantee.

But I really would be bummed out to receive a dead fish, or to lose one soon after delivery due to stress.

Could you tell me your success rate with shipping these fish?

Thanks

you may want to wait until your LFS gets one they are usually on most lists and you could order one that way .regardless the fish will be shipped and i really have had great luck with liveaquaria .at least the fish from there have been quarintened and have a guarentee .you may want to do it when the weather isnt so cold but they really pack and ship livestock the best that it can be done.i myself would opt to go with liveaquaria. good luck

I agree, and at this point in my experience, I would only order from liveaquaria--have done so successfully in the past.

I was just wondering about this particular fish cuz of its reputation.

I spotted a juvenile at LFS the first day it arrived. Waited a couple of days and went back to find it has died. So, yes, they are all shipped from somewhere.

Thanks for the input.

at least if they have gone through the QT at DFS i would think that they have a much better chance than your LFS selling to you the day after it gets to the store .
