Live Aquaria - Divers Den

[Stew18]

Can someone please explain to me what the Divers Den is? How is it different then the regular fish you order from Live Aquaria? Thanks

Divers den is wysiwyg liveaquaria is standard pic and not the same fish ect you'll receive.

It's a bit more than that. Diver's Den stuff is also quarantined and eating prepared foods. Those a two HUGE factors in the pricing.

 

[Stew18]

So the prices are a little higher?

 

[steve&mari]

Yes slightly higher

Still not guaranteed it's disease free. Always qt even from divers den. I have a post that became a sticky about a black cap basslet from divers den that arrived with swim bladder issue.

Thank you I didn't want to be the instigator but to say they're qt and eating isn't actually accurate. There's lots of case's of fish not eating or becoming sick. It's always a risk to add without qt first. Shipping can be stressful even on a healthy fish sometimes. With that said I'd recommend them and currently watching the LA & DD sites for our next fish purchases also.

Which is why it's important members new to the hobby know this useful information and don't come to believe dd is the saving grace. So instigate away! [emoji6]

There have also been recent cases of Red Bugs spotted on Sps frags. Be careful if you decide to purchase coral as well.

I personally know several people who have gotten specimens from LADD with both ich & flukes. However IME; LADD specimens almost always eat within a day or two (a huge plus with certain species) and you are getting the exact specimen you see in the photo/description.
