Again I order from Live Aquaria and again they end up delaying my order. Last time it was a shipment of corals that all came DOA, now its a six line wrasse and blenny, they were supposed to come today now its going to be tommorow.

they might be alive ... we'll have to see!!!

Just curious; For couple of fish worth about$25, why order online?

that sounds like a shipping delay, not a delay on Live Aquaria's hands...?

Did Live Aquaria do anything to rectify the other order?

well where I live a six line wrasse runs about $29.99-$39.99 if you can get one and a Canary or Midas Blenny sells for nearly $70. To get either of those fish Im going to have to haul about 2 hours away. Live aquaria sells the canary for 15.99 and the six line for 16.99 plus 25 bucks shipping so it is far more advantageous financially to order online for me.

they said they will either refund or reship if needed. the fish might live wrasse's and blennies are hardy fish.

macman7010, WOW! I've heard we so-cal folks have it easy in the SW world and that east coast folks pay 2x-3x as much but I never really thought about it.

I saw some blue zoos at my favorite reef store priced at $110 and thought; He cazy man! Then, he posted them on ebay and they sold to a NY customer for $210 + shipping

I was amazed.

Anyhow, I got my six-line for $12 and blennies (yellow, midas, etc.) are about $10-$20. Coming from years in FW, I thought that was expensive!
