So what is the best place to get fish and corals for my new aquarium online? Looking for high-quality stuff at a reasonable price.

Liveaquaria is good. But I'm sure someone will yell at me and tell me im wrong lol.

Liveaquaria is the best that I have found, with their Diver's Den section being the best of the best as those fish are QTed for most illnesses (except ich of course). They also have the highest selection in multiple categories of fish/coral/inverts.

I havent done much online shopping, but Ive used liveaquaria. I thought their prices were good...its always the shipping fee's that made me cringe lol!

I bought a small ultra blue maxima clam from them. It arrived healthy, happy, and safe. Color was amazing!

Liveaquaria and Diver's Den are my favorite. I have been along time customer. Any time there was an issue with a DOA, return or replacement was prompt. I tend to buy the products of ORA offered on Liveaquaria, corals and fish when possible. For specialty fish I have used iBluewater and been very satisfied.

LA is still good (although Petco owning them now makes me nervous for their future.)

FWIW; I've been more impressed with their fish, than their corals/inverts.

Oh petco I have had good success with there fish

If you get from Petco, you will HAVE to QT. Their fish have ich, bacteria, and often have parasites.

Na not what I found fish I got there are super happy and heathy. But quarantine is not a bad idea

Pacific east aquaculture is good for clams and coral

Check out the sponsors of Reef2Reef! They have many different options available at many different price points. Some even offer FREE SHIPPING at a certain point. Check the feedback threads for specific user experiences.

Qt is essential in general but especially from places like petco. You may have happy fish now but dosent mean Ich or other diseases are lurking in your waters.

my m. meleagris leopard wrasse came from petco, no qt, so far so good.. lubbocks and solar came from petland. Do realize taking a chance but intentionally like to give fish a chance coming from less than desirable places..
