    I did a recent order from Live Aquaria. I had a bit of problems with customer service and a fish was DOA on the order. They did take care of me at the end though and all ended well, many have had great luck with them. I truly do like Vivid, I actually buy from them locally and their stock is great. I have never ordered from them online though.....

    as a matter of fact, yes. most of my wrasse came from them. healthy and eating well. they pretty much sell WYSIWYG. all of the male wrasse i got from them almost looked like super males.

    ive heard a few issues where it is hard to get in touch with them but they always give replacements for DOA

    I've made at least a 50 fish purchases from LA, probably more. Their cuctomer service has always been awesome to me.

    I've also order from Bluezoo, but I went and picked up the fish verses having it shipped. So I can't answer to their packaging skills.

    That's a secret gem of a company I try not to talk too much about so the word doesn't spread too fast. :)

    :p Good to know. I am looking for a few new wrasses to add to my tank so that looks like a winner in the near future. Any idea where they ship from?

    I only use LiveAquaria. I'm all the way on the eastcoast & I've only ever lost 1 Foxface out of 17+ shipments. They refunded my $, no questions asked!!
