Thanks for the reply. This happened in March, I did request replacements. The mandarin arrived doa on the replacement, she was very tiny, mouth wide open. The Trimmas were never shipped, it was a mess trying to get it straight, three weeks later I had them cancel it. Kept saying fish shipped, no tracking, no fish. I may try once more to see what happens.
Hey Dhill, if you can send me over an email with your address to [email protected] and we'll make it right on our end to speed up the process a bit.

Our Court jesters are super fat and happy and eat pellets and frozen foods. I personally loved court jesters growing up in the hobby but could never keep alive them because of the specific diet but I learned captive-bred they're a completely different fish and thrive in aquariums.
Hi, would these need to be quarantined for possible parasites? Also, will they out compete my manderin for pods?

I mentioned our thoughts on QT in our FAQ section here https://shop.thebiotagroup.com/pages/faqs but in short our facility is biosecure and we're confident in our products. We suggest a QT monitoring period with all livestock you add to your display.

These mostly feed on pellets at our facility but we do feed them frozen Hikari spirulina enriched brine shrimp to get some algae into their diet. Many different fish will feed on live pods in the tank as they're a naturally attractive food source due to their movement and nutritional profile.

If I email this address can I order directly from biota rather than looking for fish stores that work with you?

Hello, do you know if you will have any court jester gobies available in the near future? They have been out of stock for quite a while now.
I have some super tiny ones that are near .5"-.75" at our Florida facility right now but I'd like to grow them out more before putting them up for sale.

Awesome. I would like to order one of those and a royal Gramma. I've been hoping to order both at the same time because of the shipping cost.

Are there any compatibility issues with one of your neon gobies and the court jester goby?

There shouldn't be any compatability issues between them. Also generally court jesters are the ideal tank inhabitant and avoid conflict and aggression at all costs.

That's what I need. Hopefully timing works out to order both fish. Thanks.

I got a biota and it's beautiful. Also eats frozen and pellets. I have had it 8 months and it's gone from 3/4" to 2". It's also a bold fish that I see all the time and hangs out with my leopard wrasse. Really worth it. Has become one of my favorite fish! Thanks @Biota_Marine

How big do coral beauties come from you guys
coral beauties are out of stock at the moment, and their size varies a bit depending on how old they are when they're shipped from Palau. We update the product description with their size for each new batch.
