Online fish order

[BMan]

Where is the best online fish supplier ? I want to order a few live fish and have them shipped to me.

I like either blue zoo aquatics or liveaquaria.

Live Aquaria has been solid for me since I got into the hobby.

I was just filling out a new member form on liveaquaria

I like the ORA livestock on LiveAquaria. Last few orders I've place have all come from ORA's facility in FL, so it never goes into any facility owned by Petco. Which is a plus to me.

Just placed a small order. Thanks for the feed back.

I buy all my livestock from LiveAquaria/Diver's Den.

Live Aquaria/Divers Den mostly, BluZoo periodically and NYAquatic occasionally. LA/DD is always my first choice. They have good selection, mostly healthy livestock, are a pleasure to deal with and have the best guarantee. I typically go elsewhere only if a fish I want is not available.

Been having major shipper problems with the holidays; might want to wait until January.

I am to late to post this but the only order where shipment was delayed was around Christmas, it is better to wait after the holidays. Hopefully your order is okay

I have ordered from saltwaterfish.com and I have had mixed luck with them. I have had a lot better luck buying from a local fish store. I have heard live aquaria is good, but I have not used them before

Yes. I QT no matter the source.

I placed an order with LiveAquaria for 3 small fish and as luck would have it, my over night delivery was delayed mid transit at an airport for an additional 24 hours. After being bagged and subjected to winter temps for 48 hours, all 3 fish arrived dead. I called LiveAquaria and they apologized and offered to resend another order or refund my money. I opted to take the refund. I’ll try again another time.

Oh yeah. My last two orders, each order had a sick fish. Both didn't make it. But liveaquaria made it good with a quick refund. On the upside, the other fish are thriving. In my last order, I ordered sm/md size and they sent md/lg. Awesome.

 

[BMan]

I don’t think I’ll order again during winter months. New England temps are just too cold. The bags were 47 degrees when they arrived.

+1 for Liveaquaria. Doc Fosters and Smith are a top notch company. Every animal from them comes in looking incredible...most you'd never even know they spent the last day in a box getting tossed around the country.

-10000 for saltwaterfish.com: Don't buy from them. Literally every fish/coral i have gotten from them has been in horrible condition and sick or injured or disfigured. I'm convinced they are basically a puppy mill for marine life. They have super cheap prices but people who treat living creatures, that should be protected and cared for with sustainable and good husbandry practices, like they are just another product to sell should NOT be rewarded with business IMHO.
