Liverocknreef - has anyone bought fish from them??

[BrettBos]

I ordered some primo deco rock via air cargo from gulfliverock and the air bill was from liverocknreef. Whatever... the rock was nice with tons of macro algae and other biodiversity.
I had more die off than I would have expected with cargo, but it traveled from Florida to California. Took about a week for everything to fully cycle.

I know this is old thread but for what its worth i got rock about 2 yrs ago from them... was best rock i've seen in 25 yrs. Downside was 1 gorilla crab but most alarming was parasitic isopod.

I think the general consensus is : sounds like a good place to buy LIVEROCK from, but not anything else.

Did you ever get feedback elsewhere to stay away from their fish? Is the lack of feedback why you say to stay away from them for anything other than live rock?

ive bought from them. everything i have bought from them has been nice. but their shipping is a rip off. last i ordered it was $103 i think since i didnt qualify for free shipping. the guy that you talk to on the phone is AWFUL though. i dont buy from them anymore because of this. theres other places to get from without having to put up with the mouthiness

and its very hard to get a reply back. they just say that they are very busy. which im sure is true but....

I have made a decent amount of purchases from them in the past for my old build. I don’t know anything about their live rock which I’ve heard good things about. I’ve only purchased fish from them. Every fish i got from them was either DOA or had parasites

EDIT: Also forgot to add the fact that they have almost any fish you can imagine listed on the site and most would assume they are available. Not true, for most of them you’ll be waiting in a queue. Especially the uncommon fish in the hobby

Ordered a Saddle Grouper and Māori Wrasse about 2 months ago…neither was in stock. Took about 2 weeks to get the refund settled.

Interesting, if in a queue and not actually in stock then I wonder why some show unavailable. You would think everything would be available if it isn't a special order. Thanks for all the feedback from everyone that answered. I impulsively ordered a few things from there. Supposedly they have a yellow dwarf lionfish in stock, red scorpion fish which I'm hoping looks like the pic, and a spotted black frogfish. If they don't actually have it then I will just have to work on getting a refund. We shall see.
