i bought a royal gramma, a blue hippo, some snails and a couple rics from swf
the blue hippo is perfectly fine.
when i got the RG it had a white sort of gash or mark on its head that ended up healing, but it died. i had it for about 5 or 6 days ... (it died today actually.)
its cool that they have the 15 day guarantee but its kind of pointless if the fish only costs 10 dollars you know... now i have to go out and buy salt and ziplock bags and pay to mail it back to just get credited (from what i understand)... if they would send me a new one itd be better because now if i want the royal gramma i have to come up with like 90 more dollars.
the rics are OK. i dont have many corals at all so perhaps im just unaware of the needs of ricoreda...
about half my snails havent moved at all... im assuming they are dead or in a coma....
however, everything came and the most expensive purchase was well worth it (hippo)
i dont want to be the only person saying something negative... but its true.
i think for a clean up crew and a blue hippo... heck yeah, give swf a shot. my bad experience probably doesnt happen to many people at all and the hippo is great (i didnt get a show or anything, just the smallest one) its super super active it eats and swims all the time.
(if anyone reads this and they decide to "slam" me for something, please PM me so we dont ruin the thread. i hate that stuff)
good luck !!
