My friend and I just placed an order with Bluegrassaquatics. No feedback yet on fish, packaging etc but I will say they are top notch as far as service, advice etc. the owner Eddie spent an hour talking to my friend and I, we had some laughs and he explained ALOT of things to us about mixing Africans and other things. Great guy all around. Have me his personal sell phone number as well. It was a huge order. Over $1,100 when all said and done.
My friend is stocking a 125 gallon tank. Eddie the owner helped out and went above and beyond. He's also been following up with me via email all day.
He said he will personally check the order and make sure there are no size issues. He said he didn't want us to get anything too small.
Sorry I couldn't offer anything about your questions but I figured I'd offer my experience so far with this company.
