Live Aquaria Losses….

As we mentioned in a comment, our C. Collare we ordered from Live Aquaria did not make it. On top of that she took our Copperband with her.  We are just hopping what ever is doesnt spread to our C. declivis. I know many have had great experience with LA, I just wish we would have. […]

As we mentioned in a comment, our C. Collare we ordered from Live Aquaria did not make it. On top of that she took our Copperband with her.  We are just hopping what ever is doesnt spread to our C. declivis. I know many have had great experience with LA, I just wish we would have. If they truly do what they say in terms of quarantine and husbandry, it’s a company we want to support.. But our experiences so far make that difficult to do so.

We posted this in Live Aquaria’s forum on Reef Central… Not sure how, or if, they will reply, but we’ll see. If you look at the bottom right of our page, you will see an image of a C. Collare. That’s our actual specimen which is now the stock photo for LA. (Verifiable by certain markings and scars). If you look you’ll also see some white lympho. She had this when we received her telling us she was not in any condition to be shipped…

    Fingers crossed for the declivis - that really sucks about the CBB and collare. how are the other fish (percs & chromis?) doing?

    Thanks L. All other fish are fine… but so was the CBB and Collare the night before. I am beginning to think it’s a gill fluke or something similar.

    A FW dip for the remaining fish is likely going to be needed.

    not sure how soon you’re looking to add, but FYI - If you don’t get Old Town’s updates, they have a nice looking Tinkeri Butterfly in today’s email…

    thanks for the heads up. it’s a bit too soon, and judging by the size in the photo a bit too big. beautiful fish though… we’ll probably stop by tomorrow just to take see it in person.
