I don't think Aquacon has a good rep. If you check out RC you'll find alot of bad things about this. Here one and there are many others:

Maybe worth picking another place.

If FishTown is getting them in this week it's probably better to get them from them. Price wise they're going to be as cheap or cheapier than the on-line places. You also get to pick out the one you want and if they do like they always do, get in a whole bunch, you can pick out a male and a Female so you can have a pair.

aquacon is aptly named.

if you are dead set on ordering from them, take the money you would have spent, shred it and throw it in the toilet.

Crakeur

I guess they're that bad huh

See if you put out a great web site with alot of nice pictures and good prices people are always willing to take a chance.

it's funny, it was the line aquacon has on their site, something like, we won't sell you a fish we would not put in our own tank.
that sounds good, but I guess you have to wonder what their tanks look like. it's a sneaky way of being honest, but deceptive at the same time.
I won't be feeding my money to the toilet this week

it looks like I'm going to check out fishtown.
I still would like to find a decent place to order online.
thanks,

Jonathan

It's funny but when most people see these on-line places and they think that they have large operations with 1000's of gals of saltwater tanks filled with fish & corals but alot of them are just smaller lfs or someone working out of there basement, Just Phish was working out of his garage, or in some cases they're just ordering from wholesaler and having them do the shipping to you.
