BIOTA Yellow Tang

The yellow tang (Zebrasoma flavescens) is an all-time marine aquarium favorite. Captive bred specimens are less likely than wild-caught stock to carry and spread disease (e.g. parasitic protozoa). Additionally, they adjust more easily to life in captivity! **Fish are Shipped Directly from...

Just like from any store...the risk is ALWAYS there. Got to QT regardless

This is true, but Petco/LA (and their wholesalers) are particularly infested.

Quality Marine, Ora, Biota Florida are their wholesalers. Not sure why people think LA is plaqued with parasites? I am sure if you order Biota captive bred they will come directly from biota just like Ora fish ordered from LA come directly from Ora. If you have issues with LA California then you are having issues with Quality Marine. Right now Quality Marine is probably the only wholesale place that brings in fish from the world that is open.

Because it is plagued with parasites.

If you order biota then it's not coming from LA, I've ordered 3 biota fish now all small happy and healthy.

And that's fine, they should be. I was talking regular LA and their wholesalers.

So then you have a problem with Quality Marine which supply's most of the LFS in the US and direct ships fish for Live Aquaria.
For some reason a lot of people wish Dr. Fosters and Smith would of just closed their doors and never sold to Petco. Not sure how that would of helped our Hobby?

LFS last summers $19.99 yellow tangs are better.

Just wondering, does Biota sell direct to hobbyists?

Order them from LA, for some reason people think LA is contaminating fish they don't even touch.

It's almost like people thinking 5G causes COVID.

Biota does sell directly to hobbyists, I received an order on Friday last week. Very happy with their service!
Sounds like they have a new website coming soon.

Their drop shipped specimens from good facilities are fine, assuming biosecurity is strict there, but anything coming from LA is most definitely not clean.

I understand Biota ships directly to LA, LA holds Biota specimens in Wisconsin for sale. I contacted Biota in Florida, they shipped the fish from there facility in Florida. Great people to deal with.
Take care all
