Best online source for cleanup crew & blue damsel?

[Zackb911]

I am ready to ad some livestock to my 29 gallon tank! Seekonk and Skiptons is a bit of a hike/hassel so I was wondering what you guys would recommend for online ordering. I plan on 2 blue damsels and your basic cleanup crew + some emerald crabs for the bubble algea, food, and test kits all in one order. I would love any recommendations for food or particular kits to order, I am a newbie after all

Why not go to Lovely Pets? It's right in Quincy. They have blue Damsels for something like 3 for $5. They usually have emerald crabs and snails as well. Most online stores will not ship supplies and fish in one order. You usually have to pay twice for the shipping. For example, there is www.marinedepot.com and www.marinedepotlive.com ...also www.drsfostersmith.com and there livestock site www.liveaquaria.com. Check with Ray at www.everythingreef.com, he is local and a BRS sponsor.

Maybe I will, I heard lovely pets is very over priced, but I have never been there... Of course it's 5 so they just closed, oh well I think I might swing by tomorrow but If anyone has a better idea or good buys let me know

Their corals are pricey, but their fish and clean-up crew prices aren't too bad at all. I just recently say a Mandarin there for $15 and the same sized one at another store for $24. They are like most stores, some stuff is expensive while other things are priced nicely.

I agree to probably skip the on-line livestock order. Shipping will probably cost you more than what you would save instead of buying local. It doesn't sound like you want to drive but Aquarium Gallery is doing a group buy for clean up with some really great prices.
