Nice fish i love triggers with the Picasso my favorate.

thanx, i have found that triggers are some of my favorite fishes aswell. it is just something about them that draws me in.
 
They made you pay for shipping on a DOA? I dont like that. I think fosters gives you everything for free if you get a DOA.

Yea, my niger and rectangulus hang out together in the powerhead flow stream constantly swimming. Some aggression still exists, but its not that bad. Little nips here and there over food arguments mainly.

i don't know if i will need to pay for the replacement or not. i am getting one on Tues. it is bigger and from HI, everywere i have read the HI collected ones are much better looking. the guy said it is much nicer then the other that i got before.

if i do pay for the DOA shipping, i don't care as it is cheaper then anywere all around. i was looking at fosters and their fish are more expensive and shipping is more. i have not seen anywere were you can get overnight for $30 with a oder combo of $5 more. normally it is x-amount PER fish or it goes up alot more with each addition. ex. i got some rays and the box was a little more lbs then this box, but the shipping was over $100. yet, in the same breath you yourself do not cover DOA shipping in your side project so i am confused as to how you see it as a down fall of the company?

...If you were interested in softies, there is a very slim chance that any would die. Plus I guarantee all of my shipped corals. Anything dies, and you will get a replacement for free. (This DOESNT however include your shipping costs.)...

not tring to pick a fight, but just tring to see were you are comming from as it seems kinda hypocritical.

i have not seen any nipping since yesterday, including feedings. the only agresstion i have seen is over hiding spots, and that isn't much.
 
tonight the triggers are playing in the current, eatting, and just cruzing the tank without so much as a second glance at one another. no flaring or chasing just getting along great. i hope the peace will continue with the addition of the blue jaw on tues.
 
How am I being hypocritical?

As far as fish shipping goes...it usually goes down as you add more fish. Most websites have free shipping at orders in the $200 range...and www.saltwaterfish.com has free shipping in the state of florida for all orders. They also have incrementally lower shipping the more fish you buy.

I am not trying to say anything, $30 is good, and the prices is right for fish like that.

Eager to hear how the third addition works out, and what the fish looks like.

hypocritical may have been the wrong wording, but you have the same warrenty and you said it was a dislike of this company you had, is all.

i was looking at the divers den and they do $50 for the first and $14 for the rest. also their pinktail of simmilar size is $20 more. this site also has free shipping on over $200 orders. i am just sticking up for a great company from my exp. and all the feedback on them is the same for them, "AAA+++ company". the only reason i don't have this new fish is that he wanted to make sure it was clean and eatting before he sent it to me.

i will keep updates on the behavior of them and if i ever find a conection for my camera i will get some good pics/vids of the tank. i am pumped for this fish as it is suposted to be bigger and more vibrant then the DOA. the DOA looked amazing so this one must be pimp!
 
That is because I am a hobbyist. I cant afford to spend $60 to ship you this stuff, most people in the biz of shipping corals and fish are making money when they send you stuff. Fedex gives them deals where they are doing overnight for less than $20 a package. There are some hobbyists that offer that actually. Sorry for the misconception. I was just comparing that to other online fish/frag shacks.

Eager to see the replacement. Someday possibly I will have the opportunity to try this company out, and I will based on your recommendation.

There are so many these days though, its hard to keep up!

Not sure where you are getting your shipping numbers from for Liveaquaria and the Divers Den but for all orders under $225 it is 34.99 for any amount of fish, and over $225 it is free. So shipping is cheaper on Liveaquaria than what you paid.

The prices on Liveaquaria may be higher for the fish, I haven't compared. Looks like you got some nice fish from this place though. I am glad you had a good experience.

I don't think you should have to pay shipping again on a product that arrived dead either, so hopefully that is not the case.

now it makes sence, like i was saying not looking for a fight just confused on were you were coming from. i still am not sure on if i have to pay the new shipping as their warrenty is on the fish cost and not shipping cost, but it dosen't say anything about the reshipping. i hope you do and have the same exp. as i did. i know if i am looking for any more slat fishes i will look with them first.

that is a downfall of online places there are to many you never know who to trust. i went into this expecting some half sickly fish due to the price and was pleasently suprised.

i'll look again i could have sware i saw $49.99 +$14 for combining orders.

just one example was my pinktail i got a 4" fish at $29.99 they have a 3-4" at $49.99. that could be were i got mix with the shipping cost was with this fishes price. i do have dislexia:nilly:
 
* Combine orders and SAVE! If your Diver's Den®/Coral Farm order also includes aquatic life in other shipping categories (excluding live rock & freshwater or pond plants), your Diver's Den®/Coral Farm shipment will only be charged an additional $14.99, regardless of method! If your total order includes items in the Aquacultured Corals/Diver's Den® category ONLY, standard shipping and handling rates will apply.

this is were i got mixed up i must have read it to be for all combined orders. i was looking at the first red colum as the standard aswell. my bad. still was $5 more for shipping.
