NY aquatics for fish
- Thread starter kodock
- Start date
Their shipping materials have been at least fairly robust. I think he’s started to recoup the discount in the fish with extra shipping cost but who knows. He’s came up short on fish I bought 3 weeks ago, for 3 weeks now, telling me he’s getting more in each week.. so I’m on the cusp of never using them againWish I'd thought of this thread, but I realistically might not have gotten any responses or worked things out in time. I just got a flame fin tomini tang from this site yesterday for $30! Been wanting one for quite a while. He's only 1", arriving later this week, so we'll see. Paid more for the shipping than I did for the fish
Either the angelfish are dying within a week or he’s selling and cant keep a hold of his inventory count and selling to walk in customers.. or maybe my discount is too big and he wants to gaslight me until I cancel idk.. but nyaquatic is one nose hair away of getting a permanent complaint troll out of me.. They have the best prices if they actually have the fish
Well now I'm nervous about it 
. Either I don't get the fish, or I get a sick fish. I'm already a bit wary about any live shipments, thanks to some bad experiences recently with UPS in my area. They have no problem with finding my house when the weather is good, but if it's really cold or rainy, there's always an issue with the delivery. It's a strange phenomenon. But if I get the little guy on time and he's ok, I'll let you know.

This why I always QT fish regardless of where it comes from.Be aware that you might have trouble and be prepared:
Flashing
Is flashing always indicative of a health issue or a parasite? Could there be other factors like territory dispute or establishing dominance?humble.fish
You should be fine, but you should try and quarantine any fish you get, from anywhere. Any source you buy from can face risk, so doing a FW dip and a QT to observe and/or treat is something to consider if your main display is healthy and have had the fish for a long time. Angelfish can be asymptomatic of uronema, so it’s hard to tell with them sometimes. It may be perfectly fine, but that transport to your house exemplified it.Well now I'm nervous about it
I appreciate the information, sincerely. I'm still in the first year of my saltwater aquarium adventure, and there are a lot of differences, compared to freshwater. I have some questions about QT, so I should probably make a new post for that. Don't want to hijack this thread. Thanks y'all!

I'm happy buying from them , Got an Idol Several months ago from them , went through my QT process and its doing well , Just got 2 baby purple tangs on sale last week. , they're doing well , Just sorry I moved to slow on Achilles they had on sale for 399.99 and missed out on that deal by the time I decided to pull the trigger . You snooze you loose I guess .

Go slow , I prefer doing all my QT in black totes with minimal lighting , let the new fish chill for 3 days , get them to eat, then I start out with Chloroquine Phosphate and do 100% water changes. every 3 days , for 4 to 5 rounds , wait 3 days and start a round of Metroplex and praziquantel for 2 weeks . If you have a fish that's a finicky eater , I order saltwater pl 10 shrimp out of Miami , I order 5000 of them (min order) but they're worth it , haven't had a fish refuse them yet . Good Luck , hope this helps

Unless you're buying you fish from Marine Collectors , you're buying sick fish no matter where you buy from , and if you haven't qt'd every last organism in your tank from the rock to the snails you have a sick tank . Is what ti is . Sorry , really dont want to. burst anyones bubble.Well now I'm nervous about it
It all depends on when the fish come in they always have a limited amount you probably just got the ones that survived, I've brought fish from WWC and they were DOA, and from marine collectors that were DOA, and blue zoo that were DOA
