Ordering from Sea Life Inc. questions

aquaman3680 · 05-12-2007, 11:29 AM

Lookin at there stuff they have excellent prices! They have a basket star and i was wondering if they tend to do well? It says on there that they are easy to care for but i wanted another opinion. Also would they hurt my pipefish?

Also i wanted to know what you guys have ordered from there and maybe give me some suggestions and must buys? As of right now i have some toadstool algae, blue zoos, neon blue zoos, green ric, 2 emerald crabs, 1 sand sifting cuke, and a regular tiger cuke! Any other suggestions or comments about list so far?

Thanks,

Matt

From Bob Fenner's WetWebMedia:
"Basket Stars:

One fast mention of the bizarre Basket Stars. Though some folks have reported reasonable success in their husbandry (see references below), these nocturnal animals are by no means easy to keep in captive conditions. They require specialized, large facilities, and diligence in their food preparation and administration."

The purple plume gorgonian is probably my favorite. Looks like they have some nice stuff.

I purchased the purple plume and the yellow sea whip gorgo. from them about a year ago. Both are doing fine and dandy. I have also purchased a fish or two and a couple of flower anemones from this guy. Both did fine and really fourished in my tank.

Excellent packaging as well...

God bless,

I think this is where Woodstock obtained her tank raised Yellow Headed jawfishes.

Yep, I have ordered from them once. Good livestock, packing and prices

I would certainly order from them again.

aquaman3680 · 05-17-2007, 05:20 PM

any recommendations on what to order? I was considering ordering one of their jawfish for the fuge...

Nobody should put jawfishes in the fuge!

Oh, I forgot, your fuge doubles as a display, my bad! Carry on!
