Anyone used these guys before? What was your experience? Looking at them for a wrasse currently!

Funny thing, I was just looking at this website. I was told they were credible. An old forum for 2009 said that they had diseased fish but I take that with a grain of salt because they have had time to improve.

VIolet sea aquarium?

It's local to me and well known in our reef club. Some tanks are overcrowded, but they just installed about 40 smaller tanks to separate the fish. They're more known for fish than corals.

They dont qt fish, but i qt them and theyre just fine.

No experience with their shipping method.

Are they the ones in San Jose?

Beware buying any fish online from Violet Aquarium! I purchased a couple pairs of WYSIWYG clowns on 3/3. I received a shipment email with a UPS tracking number that looked suspicious. The tracking showed dropped off in Sunnyvale, CA and that was it. No updated tracking info and the fish never arrived. They won't return my calls or emails. This also happened to another friend locally who thousand $+ order arrived, was signed for, but UPS kept the box stating there was fraudulent activity on their account. Their store phone in non working and I've heard they're selling fish they don't actually have on hand.

I’ve used them multiple times for a wide variety of fish. All being shipped cross country. Never any or problems or issues.

I have used then for almost 2 years and have no complaints. I almost always order on the WYSIWYG page so I know what Im getting. I had a few DOAs which they gave me credits. I love the flash sales and almost always buy during those. Shipping has been fine to Orlando,FL.
