Ordering clean up crew online, Any recomendations?
I am in dire need of a new/another clean up crew, and am gonna order on next week. If you have ordered one online, who did you order from? What did you get? How much was it? Any recomendations would be great.
Thanks! SHOG

Any critters that I've ordered have been pretty much exclusively from Premium Aquatics. Jason is great. Can't really remember what I paid, but it was competitive. All critters in my clean-up crew arrived alive. Got some scarlet hermits, turbos, bahas, queen conchs(I love these guys). Been happy w/ them. HTH

I second Premium Aquatics!
They have a great variety of snails on hand. And depending on how many you want to order they have a special on ordering large numbers of snails. I am personally not too fond of anything with claws in my tank. Althought I do have some hermits from an package I got from IPSF a while back, but no more for me. -CaptK |

I purchased an abalone with my original order, he is the hoover in my 220 gallon. He has been there since the beginning and I highly recommend one. I also use the blue leg hermits, bright red brittle stars for eating detritus.

well imo,premium aqautics and ipsf are good for different stuff(and complimentary to each other).if youre leaning towards snails/hermits go to pa,if you want worms and bugs go to ipsf.hth
i have been happier with my purchases from ipsf, personally. |

SHOG,
IPSF is "Indo-Pacific Sea Farms". They're based in Hawaii. I too have purchased stuff from them. They're good. OrganicReefer is right. IPSF is good for getting stuff like bristleworms, pods, mini-brittles etc.

I also try to stay away from anything with claws. In fact, I'm tearing apart my reef tomorrow to remove a cleaner shrimp, 3 peppermint shrimp, and a sailfin tang. (the tang is just a pain in the @$$ - I nicknamed him "hemroid")
I highly recommend bristle worms; spaghetti worms, and cukes.
