Live fish direct

[hollyfish2000]

Fanofbigflue -- there are many reasons why your Africans may not be coming out. One is that you might be significantly understocked. (I don't see what your tank size is or how many other fish you have.) I'm also a big confused by the stocking I see you ordered. Are these all male? Are some males and some females? That can cause aggression problems if the boys are fighting over the females. I believe the zebra obliquidens may also be more aggressive than your other peacocks, so the hiding may be related to one bully that you can't really see. I personally would not remove hiding places (although none of the fish he has listed are mbuna). The rocks do give them security. I also have never heard of "dither fish" for Africans. He's thinking you'll put a bunch of tetras in there?????

If you only have these five fish and the tank is at least 55 gallons, I'd think the shyness is due to understocking and it can be solved by adding more (nonaggressive) Africans . ..

LiveFishDirect is a good place to purchase. My tank is full with fish I purchased from them, never had a problem with the fish. I did place an order once, the fish wasn't in stock and my money was refunded in full the next day.

Has anyone ever purchased German Blue Rams from there? If you have, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can you provide some pictures?

I have also recently emailed livefishdirect about when they will have more in stock and I haven't gotten a response from them yet.

Hi i'm new. I placed an order with livefishdirect.com 2 weeks ago and he sends me an email saying "fedex is going to drop it off at my door on sunday so be sure to be there to sign for it." well i emailed him back and said "fedex doesn't deliver on sundays, maybe monday or tuesday, i'll be home on those days". I never got a reply i email support and no help and even emailed josh directly and no reply. now its been 3 weeks and i still don't have my fish. i think he scammed me out of a lot of money. i'm going to wait a couple more days than file a charge back with visa.

Pet, my best guess is that you didn't buy from here? (I know this thread is old but still, curiosity beats me every time!)

Nope, I just decided that the customer service I received wasn't what I thought was good so I decided to spend the money elsewhere.

This doesn't make sense - when finalizing the order online you are given a calendar with your choice of delivery dates, and Sundays are not an option. Once when a storm was expected in Utah, they delayed shipping for one day and promptly notified me, which I appreciated.

The company has an A+ BBB rating. I think there is more to this story than we're being told.
