Has anybody ordered from Arizona Aquatics? I was thinking about ordering some plants and shrimp (love their different kinds!!!!) and they have scarlet badis. If you ordered from them, what did you think? Good shipping, etc??

I always order plants/shrimp from them, they have great customer service and the plants are in great shape! Don't hestitate to call them for any info...

IME, they are pretty bad at correctly identifying plants. Every time I tried ordering Ludwigia arcuata (and said NO substitutes), they sent me Ludwigia repens instead. Their Bacopa myriophylloides was actually a species of Myriophyllum. Oy!

The plants are healthy enough, but for being shipped within 24 hours straight to your door, they could be much better.

I've always ordered shrimp/algae eating fish from them when I needed large numbers.

Customer service is, IMO, quite slow (I've had to wait up to 2 weeks to get a response). I guess it's because they are so busy.

That's arizona gardens and I've read quite a bit of bad information about them. Sometimes the shrimp show up with 100% mortality and they do nothing, lots of substitions I hear also. Of course I have no first hand experience with them and this is all hear-say. I know I would never order from them though.

Well, I have to admit...when I ordered from them I only ordered Egeria densa to start the initial cycle in my tank, and I also ordered 5 Cherry Shrimp(none died).

I've heard good success rates of the cherry shrimps. This one guy said he ordered 12 cherry shrimps, 12 amanos. The 12 amano's showed up 100% mortality rate, the 12 cherry shrimps were fine though. I guess that just shows you which is more hardy.
