What Would You Recommend?

[tanner86]

I am looking for a clean-up crew online. I need someone (online store) that has been reliable with good prices. The last time I ordered online the crew died over 3 months. I am particulary looking for cleaner shrimp, peppermint shrimp, snails for detritus, general snails for algae.

Any suggestions please.

I've had success with saltwaterfish.com. I'm curious about your reasons for wanting to order online though.

no doubt... I would use one of the following Its Fishy Business locally or ETropicals.com. For $60 you can pick the ones you want and the shipping is REALLy free unlike the $20 "free shipping" at saltwaterfish.com. They also carry a better live guarantee. If you are less than $60, I would use fishy as practically every place is going to $20 plus.

The other suggestion is floridapets.com

I would prefer to buy locally but cleaning crews are so expensive. I have a 140gal I am trying to stock and have already spent more on cleaning crew than I have corals in the tank. Online always seems alittle cheaper when buying in bulk.

Fishy Business is a great suggestion and I have been there many times. Unfortunately he hasn't had in what I am looking for. I will not have hermits as they ate two of my corals and I already have all the snails that he is currently providing.

Does Saltwaterfish.com have build your own packages? I was looking last night and didn't see that option.

If you had your choice would it be etropicals or saltwaterfish?

For me there is no question that etropicals.com is the best place once shipping is out of consideration. ETropicals is a sister company of LiveAquaria.com and DrsFosterSmith.com and without a doubt they have the best service or at least tied for it in the industry. Their guarantee is also held up better as you don't have to freeze livestock and send it back in and you can ask for a refund rather than a credit.

Garf.org offers some great deals on CUCs! I have ordered from them several times and thier CUCs were healthy and are still mostly surviving! Plus they usually toss in a free coral!

I got mine from Fishy Business and was 110% satisfied. Also, I went in with 2 other people, got one of the larger packs and we divided the cost. (The extra critters that didn't get split 3 ways went to the driver who did the pick-up to compensate for gas.)

You might see if anyone will go in with you on a larger pack. I see you're in Kennesaw ~ ~ if you want get a CUC from FishBiz and need someone to split a pack, let me know. Maybe would could get a 3rd person who would go in on this *Group Buy* (I may know of someone).

OR you could ask in the Forum if anyone wants to split a larger CUC package. Might be others located near you who would be interested.

What are you planning on picking up? eTropicals and Saltwaterfish would be nice. The prices on the snails a very close so it can go either way. I've never had any issues with Saltwaterfish.com to say if there customer service is good or bad though.
