Evening everyone, im a freshwater fish keeper currently running 4 tanks ranging from 30gal(hospital/quarantine tank) to a 110 Oscar tank. Been contemplating on getting a saltwater tank and filling with clown fish but first need to do research on Saltwater tanks. So I guess I'm here to learn and also inquire on good fish store to purchase fish.

Does your petsmart have saltwater? Around me they do not.

Nope...

No Petsmart carries saltwater fish. That is a corporate decision. Most petco do, but not all, however they are two completely separate companies, no matter how often the two are confused with one another.

No Petco here and the nearest one doesn't carry live fish at all

Again, I love the captive bred clowns, gobies, and fang blennies I got from Sustainable Aquatics/CoralReefTN. Really great people to work with and healthy fish with amazing prices on the captive bred fish.

Located in Tennessee but they ship anywhere overnight delivery.

Your location says you're in California, if so, if you decide to get into corals or anemones, I highly recommend AquaSD. I love all the stuff I've repeatedly bought from them and it's always came very healthy and pest free

TDubb4Twenty · Mar 14, 2022

O no, how you change the location thingy im in VA

It just says Danville, and when I clicked it, it took me to danville california.

Either way, I still highly recommend AquaSD and CoralReefTN. I'm in Michigan and every shipment from both places has always been perfect!

Good look...I got some research to do before I get into the salt

Welcome! Glad you joined.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

Along the top menu, go into Account and on landing page just scroll down to Location which is an open text based field.

I've mailordered fish from TSM Aquatics in New Jersey, though I'm in Texas surrounded by MANY LFSs, though I do support my LFSs quite heavily as well.
