Marine Collectors and Ocean Devotion experience

[Dorado]

I'm just curious if anyone has had experience with either of these places? I've tried emailing each of them a couple of times in the last few weeks with no response. I know that there are other places out of state but I'd rather not put the fish through unnecessary shipping stress.

Wouldn’t buy if you rnt. Getting any response. What if something goes wrong

Live aquaria’s normal stock (not divers den) ships from Los Angeles. Good way to go with their policies which are generous ime.

marine collectors only does super high end fish and gets the endless BRS plugs so he can charge $150+ for royal grammas lol. he got booted from humblefish's site due to being non-responsive

ocean devotion i think he communicates pretty well. i think texting him is the key?

and @erickjohnsonaz has a qt business going that's local

I bought a QTHippo tang from Eric and put into my DT directly… and he is very active and eating like a pig.

PS all my other fish didn’t go through any 30 days QT… the Hippo Tang got spots here and there but never show any serious ICH outbreak… he is in my tank for about a mouth and I can see him getting better and better everyday.

Adam is a stand up guy, I for sure plan on contacting him down the road for new fish.

I know Elliot from when he worked at Vivid, good guy, but I haven't bought any fish from him.
I've bought several fish from Adam and they're all super healthy and doing well. I really like Adam and will probably buy most, if not all of my fish through him. He's great at communicating, but agree, that texting him may be a better way to contact him. Adam does a great job at sourcing fish and he pays attention to the details, (size, color, etc), which I really appreciate. I know some people may have sticker shock about some prices, but these guys are providing a service that lasts for weeks, if not longer, so I've never had an issue with the price of the fish.
Here's a short list of fish that I bought from Adam.
Ignitus Anthias trio
Yellow banded possum wrasse
ORA sharknose gobies
Tomini tang
Scopus tang
McCoskers flasher
Randall's assessor

Adams good to work with.

Adam from Ocean Devotion just reached out to me, must have been some sort of error in communication

I would love to help anyone that is interested! I don't know Adam. I would love to meet him. I have seen Elliot on the BRS live streams and have talked with him on the phone.
