Pacific East Aquaculture

My daughter and I *finally* remembered to visit on our way back over the bridge. I only purchase from facilities with healthy, well fed fish; because they are my first priority. I walked in and saw a beautiful, healthy display tanks - one with large schools of yellow tangs and mature colonies of coral. The gentleman working let us "acclimate" ourselves to the layout and location of corals and then approached to answer questions and show us a few neat pieces. He has earned my respect and business for his knowledge and light-hearted demeanor. I'm not sure how I ended up with another freakin' cleaner shrimp, but my daughter has a soft spot for them and they had little tiny ones, how can one resist a tiny cleaner shrimp? I would rather spend my money locally, and I'll be back when my QT clears out. As of this review, my QT is once again populated and all creatures are settling in for the rest of the weekend.

I've never ordered fish online before but wanted a captive bred royal gramma. So I put together a small order. The order was delayed by the carrier which was no fault of PEA. Their customer service was amazing and once the package arrived they reached out to see how everything was and even checked in the next day. The royal gramma was looking a little rough from being stuck in a bag for two days in transit. The next day he was looking much better and even started eating, two days after arrival he seemes like nothing happened. I think that says a lot for the quality of their animals. I'm already putting together a coral order. *Update I ordered 8 coral frags from PEA. I am very impressed, they all looked healthy and colorful. 4 of them were exactly what I was expecting having ordered from various online sites before. The other 4 exceeded expectations. One frag was totally encrusted and overgrown, and the other three were so big I ended up rearranging a bunch of my rock work to get them better spots... which I feel like it's a good problem to have. Pacific East Aquaculture will definitely be my go to place for online orders now.

I chose them because their fish were supposed to be aquacultured (less likely to be sick). Both fish came sick and beat up looking with what looks like fin rot. The corals were adequate, but nothing special. Never going to oder from them again.

A great online store to buy from if you're looking for unique corals!
