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.

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.
