The 5 fish in my tank are all from Dr. Foster & Smith/Live Aquaria. All arrived in excellent condition and all have been healthy to date. The first arrived 4 months ago, and the most recent 3 weeks ago.

2 True Perculas

I've had good luck with all my live aquaria orders. I did have 1 true perc clown die in shipping but they were very good about replacing it quickly. They have excellent customer service.
If you can have them hold it at the fedex station and pick it up first thing in the morning. Save them the ride around town on a hot fedex truck.
