I recently purchased a 5 inch Goldflake angelfish from NY Aquatic. This was my first purchase with this company. As most of you know I am very very particular (ok, picky) 
when it comes to purchasing angelfish. After talking to another reefer on the forum (Jimdogg), I decided to give NY Aquatic a chance.
FEDEX delivered the package before 10:30a in a nicely packaged box. The bag was packed multiple times (4X to be exact) and was filled with plenty of
water (another pet peeve of mine of some vendors, don't include enough water) and the fish was alert and healthy. There was some leaking of the
bag, but not enough to be concerned with.
I did a thorough 1 hr 45 min acclimation as the pH of the bag was 7.2 and the QT tank it was going into was 8.3.**
Once in the QT tank, I did a thorough inspection of the fish and all I can say is WOW !! Absolutely a gorgeous and stunning fish. The goldflake is extremely healthy and alert, has clear fins and eyes and the colors are excellent.
I am very pleased with this purchase and as long as the result of future purchases are like this, I plan on buying additional fish from NY Aquatic.
If you want some harder to find angelfish or just fish in general, give NY Aquatic a try. You will not be disappointed.
I will be posting a video of this fish tomorrow after it has had a full day acclimation and updates along the way.
**(I advise placing all fish from any vendor into a QT tank for 4-6 wks)
