Online fish shopping?

[limbhanger]

Let me start by saying this site is simply awesome. Thank you all for your knowledge and experience. Where I live the closest LFS was 45 min away they were great but unfortunately have closed. I was wanting to know what are some good trustworthy sites to buy from, as far as healthy fish and corals. As everyone knows this hobby is a HUGE investment so all comments will be deeply appreciated.

I would check out NY Aquatic right here in the vendor section. I've heard LA is going downhill now that they are run by Petco.
I just got an order from NY Aquatic and everything arrived in top notch condition.

I can't speak from experience but I have asked this same question recently and Blue Zoo Aquatics came highly recommended.

Check the vendor thread here. Among the reef,ny aquatics, and PIA always seem to have top notch fish. I've never had any issues with these guys

+1 on all the above recommendations. Vivid Aquariums is great for fish and corals. Unique Corals is great for both too.

I have used live aquaria a few times but they are definitely expensive and I have ordered from bluezoo and was not very impressed I really like saltwaterfish.com and if you check often enough you can catch some great free give aways I got a free flame angel last time I ordered from there

I've been in this hobby for over 12 years and the only place I can say for certain is that if you purchase from divers den live aquaria, you're getting a fish free from diseases.

That's the only placed I'd ever buy fish If I didn't want to QT

just wanted to be sure to post up that specimens from LADD are not disease free. personally have received several shipments with velvet, ich, flukes, etc. lots of accounts from folks on here over the years experienced the same.

to answer OP, reefwise is a great source and vendor on here. check out the threads on here about folks who do honest quarantined fish for sale as well for more vendors who do a great job.

I purchased from liveaquria and had a 50% lose. They refunded me my money, but it was very upsetting to watch! Never again!

 

[tautog83]

nyaquatic is good sometimes the service isnt always there..nice guy... but o man you're fish jumped out before i could send it. its 7pm the night before my shipment arrives and i have to email him to find out one out of t he 3 fish died so he couldnt send my other fish for some reason.. never a problem with money or anything just communication could be better . Cultivated reef not a vendor on here but some of the best customer service around for corals , aquasd , and zoacollector

I couldn't find reef wise on here
