LA and ORA divorce?

[reefinatl]

Looks like Liveaquaria and ORA split. I noticed Saltwateraquarium.com was carrying ORA the other week so I guess ORA is an exclusive deal or something. My last dropship from ORA had 3 of 5 bags busted at the bottom factory seam but somehow the fish survived in tablespoons of water at the bottom so can't say I'm excited to do business with ORA at the moment but figured I'd post and see if anyone has any good gossip about the divorce.

Are we sure it wasn’t ORA that dropped liveaquaria?

Good point, never know who's cheatin who, and who doesn't even care anymore.

Edited the OP.

I’d like to believe in ORA just as I liked to believe in Biota. I hope it is not them that are messing up the delivery but rather the middle man. And hope that can be fixed.

LA was bought by a wholesaler recently so probably something to do with the change.

See and that's the good stuff and why I posted. I figured it was ORA and Biota laid out an ultimatum.

Wow, I was today years old when I learned that LiveAquaria was previously owned by Petco! Article says sale of LiveAquaria happened 2 years ago in 2020.
