Looking for the best place to buy snails, crabs, ect. I bought on some website before and was very disappointed in the size of the livestock that was sent.
Believe it or not petco is where I just recently got mine they're running a special most of them are a buck apiece. But had no luck with the black margaritas everything else worked pretty good going to go back and buy 20 more
The petco near me is absolutely ravaged with nearly every obvious disease you can name, I would love to pick up some snails but wouldn't feel real comfortable with it.
I have used liveaquaria before for the build a crew package option. However I personally wouldn't risk a live shipment on a UPS truck this time of year.
Tropical isle in framingham usually has a good selection of fish and inverts.
I just ordered several fish from LiveAquaria last week. Unless there is snow in the forecast, I wouldn't worry. All the fish look more healthy than anything I've ever bought from an LFS.
Check local fish stores, underwater world in taunton, which is local to me, always has a good assortment of stuff, I pop in and grab $20 worth here and there to keep up with my wrasses who eat everything I put in there. Good to support our sponsors too
I always have better results from DD compared to LA. They pack better IMO. Although it's coming from Wisconsin instead of California so maybe the actual transit time is lower.
Oddly, I think the LA orders are in transit less time because of the time difference. I didn't get my shipping confirmation from LA till like 8pm where as I got it at 6pm from WI.
