I'm just wondering if anyone here has ever ordered from Aquacon. They seem to have a very large selection of fish, inverts, and corals. I noticed that their shipping rates are a little higher, but the prices for the livestock seems to be less.

Any information one can share is appreciated

Do a comprehensive search here on Aquacon...
It might be enlightening

Just avoid them. Avoid at all costs.

The feedback over the years has been almost all negative, so proceed with caution.

Try liveaquaria.com. They are pretty good on everything and have good information on the livestock that they sell.

Think of it this way, LIVE AQUARIA or AQUA CON. Also, SAlTWATER FISH. Just say it slowly, i bought from live aquaria once for a clean up crew. Paid 60 bucks and got free shipping and they gave ne some free extra snails! Great deal.

Another vote for Live Aquaria. I've ordered from both the regular website (comes from California) and the Diver's Den (come from Wisconsin). As a quick search will tell you, they package well and probably have some of the best customer service of any company going, and I'm not just talking about in the aquarium world.

My last order consisted of a branching frogspawn from the Diver's Den. I got a call on the day it would ship from them informing me that the coral unfortunately didn't make it, but we do have some wall frogspawns we could replace it with if you like. I really would have preferred the branching so I just told them no thanks. They refunded my order including shipping and gave me a free shipping credit on my account to be used next time for the trouble.

Thanks so much for all the feedback. I will definitely avoid them. I like the play on the name Aqua CON :)

I echo all of the other posts. I ordered from Aquacon 1 time and within 30 days it all had died.
