Ordered my gold dust from them. Good people. Fastest delivery I've ever had fish sent to me. Well packaged and all.

Ive ordered multiple times from Wet Spot and been super happy with the whole process. For me the fact they are just a couple hours away makes shipping cost very reasonable. Also have drove down for the weekend a few times and bought stuff from the storefront itself. Awesome place!

Was also going to suggest if a weeksii is on the list, try and get a larger one from the get go. Your ornates and endlis will outgrow it very quickly. That is the one thing I dont like about my weeksii, super slow growth.

As to how well my weeksii did with others... an old pic of the weeksii at 7" with its tankmate a gold dust (1st one to get rehomed)

No issues despite the size difference.

Big difference on the head size

Weeksii look like a snakehead.

Another fun thing, weeksii keep their external gills for a long time. When the fish came in at 7" it had these.

It was almost 13" before they were fully gone!

Man, you would think I really like weeksii, lol
