My Biota Experience

[Reefing102]

Just got my shipment in and all fish were healthy. 1 yellow tang and 3 rainfords gobies. It was interesting there were not heat or cold packs but I did order during mild weather lows in the 60s highs in the high 70s.
Regardless, I would not hesitate to order from them again. The only issue I ran into, is one of the rainfords has been killed by my neon dottyback. Not Biotas fault at all. I hadn’t experienced any aggression out of him since I’ve had him so I found that odd. The other two have been removed to my wife’s tank to prevent future aggression. Without further ado…a couple pics…excuse the poor quality pics and algae

Sorry for your loss. Dottybacks are jerks. Mine would bully anyone new i added to the tank.

I echo Biota, husbandry, quality care and customer service - all led by an inspiring strategy...

It happens. Like I said, definitely not on Biota. Funny thing is I’ve never had any aggression out of him when adding any other fish, but yea. The other two are doing great and the yellow tang is good. A little shy but good

So much better than all the dead fish I've received multiple times from the other guy owned by PetCo, to include shipping in winter w/o a heat pack from WI! I got one of those farm-raised yellow tangs about 6 months ago. Very healthy fish and colored up nicely.

I just got a goldflake angel from biota today and it looks fantastic. Fingers crossed it does well! Hatching some baby brine for it tonight.

PetCo sold the other guy almost 2 years ago. I’ve never ordered from them but apparently from what I’ve seen online their shipping and customer service has actually gone down hill from when PetCo owned them.
Also, if you are not referring to Live Aquaria then please disregard me.

Biota shipped a yellow tang with HLLE ? Yikes !
