Ordering online.

[Instatator]

So, I have seen a few websites that have live fish and all sorts of other things for sale. It'd be nice to be able to pick out exactly what I wanted, instead of what the LFS has in stock that day. Only problem is, I'm worried about the shipping process. Or how good the quality of the product is, not ever seeing a real picture of that exact one you'll receive.

Anyone care to share their experience on ordering online? Or maybe a site recommendation?

Any info would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Nicewrasse and Cherry Corals are both excellent. I hear Reef Raft is awesome too - I'll be checking that out firsthand with their live sale coming up.

I believe nicewrasse can do special orders, so ask if there's something you want.

dont forget not only online vendors they have people in the market place buying selling and trading all the time. keep an eye out tehre for great deals and stuff that you can get for lower prices. even if not low prices but a great piece from someones collection.

I've had great experiences with Live Aquaria and Pacific East Aquaculture. There are a ton of great online vendors. Have fun shopping!

Unique Corals is one of the best!

I live 30mins from live aquarias facility and all I can say is even if I am picking up a fish it is like 10x bagged stapled and in a huge box styro with peanuts. Always a good choice. Fish wont leave there unless they are healthy and eating well
