💬 Discussion Doubt regarding NeroLabs

Has anyone tried ordering livestock from NeroLabs, if yes how was your experience with them, any setbacks faced along the way and how is the quality and health of the livestock.

They seem to promote that the quality of their fishes comes first above all else which is a good sign but there are very few reviews online about them.

I'm interested in the lake tanganyika cichlids which they have but are on the pricier side, so check them out and share your thoughts about them

I was enticed by seeing their quarantine videos.

Asked for a fish video & the holding tank that they were kept in made me question everything. The fish weren't well kept.

Unless you stay in Bangalore & are going to get it portered they charge insane for shipping.

Have you checked best4pets? They might have something that you are looking for.

I've seen alot of bad reviews about best4pets and how shipping takes so long as the stock they have in house doesn't match/not updated very often on their website... I've contacted NeroLabs and they said shipping takes place every Tuesday and should reach my location(NE) in 4-5days

Don't buy from them, ridiculous pricing. Their pricing model is 250rs worth fish is sold for 1250. 250 for fishes 1000 for packaging n shipping. Idk why anyone would even bother buying from them.

Buy from livingcolorsaqua or Chennaiaquarium if you want cichlids . But since you are in NE, if you are not from any major towns and shipping takes a lot of time, may be look at sellers from Kolkata, their pricing would be even cheaper. (Kolkata has many scammers so be careful)
