I am planning on restocking my tank in the near future and im planning on getting a few fish from here. Has anyone ordered a flame angel from swf, if so how is there quality of coloration, and for that matter what about the color and quality of other fish?

I've had 2 orders from swf so far. Only 2 casualties, a small purple urchin & the gold rim tang. The tang looked very skinny & died the next morning although she looked good & was active after acclimation. All of the other fish are awesome, very colorful, active & good eaters. Think the tang was a fluke & I will buy more fish from swf. Don't forget they have a 15 day guarantee which will be honored. After buying fish locally I much prefer swf. BTW I have a flame angel, not bought from them. She's an awesome & highly colorful little gal. It would be very difficult to get one that isn't colorful unless they are way sick & half did.

I bought a flame angel from here and it is very colorful and in excellent condition. I buy most of my stuff from swf.

You could of just sent them back with your info and they would of sent you a replacement code.

I bought a FA from here he died from being beaten up he was very colorful.
But be careful sometimes SWF fish can be small. No offense

I've had my 3rd casualty; a green chromis. When I found it was breathing heavily & belly up. Died within 2 minutes of netting him. 2 of the 5 shaving brush plants seem to be turning white from the pretty green they are. Looks like they are on their way out too. Half the turbos (in 1 bag of 50, ordered 100) have gone belly up too(live in 90 gal). The other 50 are great & doing their job(live in 125 gal). I keep checking water parameters & all is well there too. If anything were amiss in the 90 gal. my hippo tang would have been the 1st to inform me. Boy, I sure hope nothing else decides to go belly up. So far they are all acting good & no signs of problems from anenomes or soft corals.
