You've got to see this site
Aquacon has all kinds of livestock, with pics 
http://www.aquacon.com/index.html
Don't know if they are any good, but enjoyed browsing the site.

yeah that is what i have heard too. although i have had no first-hand experience with them i would advise against it. Instead, go for PA or FFE.

I've only bought SPS from them and didn't have any problems. But I've heard bad stories from them.

I have a motto, "listen and learn from other peoples mistakes". If you order from this company after reading the above replies, you can only blame yourself. No one I know has received what they ordered from this company. Stop, look and listen. If you want to be Aqua-con-ed, then place your order today.
Didn't mean to slam !!!

I'm pretty sure they've seen these types of threads before.

Ok so they are aware of there practices and it's to bad for them and hobbiest. I won't waste my time emailing them.

They advertise very delicate species as "hardy" and have a terrible reputation on all of the boards. I have never heard of anyone placing a repeat order with them. I wonder how they stay in business.
