I know this isn’t a “product”, and I’m 100% for going with our sponsor LFS as much as possible but sometimes you can’t find exactly what you want and need to order.
We have wanted to get another regal blue tang for months now but can’t bring ourselves to spend $100 on a baby the size of a nickel. I got an email advertisement from the subject site and clicked on it. I was able to get a blue regal for $30, a smaller naso tang for $50 and a couple other fish. I met the minimum so got free shipping. They are very communicative and I knew the status of my order at every step. They have FedEx pickup where it is held at your nearest FedEx terminal for pickup. You can chose the delivery date that works with your schedule.
All fish arrived alive and only slightly stressed. All look to be in good condition. I floated then drip acclimated them. The acclimation process seemed somewhat stressful to the anthias and naso but they recovered quickly. Put them in the QT and shut off the lights to reduce their stress. I hadn’t been able to see them eat so right before we went to bed we turn on channel of the light on low and fed. They all ate like pigs and I was satisfied. Have had them for 24 hours and everyone looks good so far and are eating. The red finned wrasse and ignitus anthias are pretty much staying hidden but do venture out to eat and sometimes just to venture out! I’m hoping they will get more sociable as time goes on in the QT. It has been my experience that fish that are QT’d together for the full QT time form a bond that remains strong when they’re added to the DT even if they’re different fish.
Because there is a minimum order ($149) to qualify for free shipping I just wanted to throw it out there that I’d be willing to coordinate a group order of enough people had an interest. Note that the “bonus” fish are limited to ONE PER ORDER so everyone wouldn’t be able to get the $30 tang. This is if there’s a fish you want that you can’t get locally but don’t want to pay a huge shipping cost for or whatever. If several members wanted fish and wanted to VENMO me their portion I could make one order.
