To actually be helpful and answer your question, there's quite a few places. TSM though seems to be commonly referred.

Dr. Reefs Quarantined Fish
@Dr. Reef
He can get whatever you want, and his prices are excellent.
His reviews here are spectacular.
I have an order in process right now.
It won't be fast but that's kind of the point with getting a QT fish right??

Nah, I would not recommend Diver's Den either.

NO
Diver's Den is not QT'd.

Yes it is. Have you guys never read what diver's den is? It is NOT the same as the typical live aquaria fish.

I stand corrected. That said - reviews for Divers Den are pretty awful.

Well I have ordered from them several times. The only issue that arrives is usually something to do with FedEx. They have guarentees on their fish which will cover any shipping issues without question.

Marine collectors has a very high reputation though you're gonna spend some $$ there. I can vouch for his quality.

reefinatl · May 14, 2021

Apologies. They must've changed things around. Used to just be acclimation and observation type stuff. Still not sure I'd trust it like I would dr. Reefs, tsm, or marine collectors.

Ok well that is factually incorrect but that's fine.

Did they recently changed their protocol? Before they didn't fully qurantine their fish.

Baldguy · May 17, 2021

I wonder when they changed too. Even they admitted to a acclimation and partial qt. They still advised qting their fish. Now they claim a full qt. Good to know.

Uhh no. They do not do an actual quarantine on the fish, that's all marketing mumbo jumbo. I could put a fish in isolation for 3 days and say I did 'a disease prevention and quarrantine and conditioning protocol', but that means little to nothing in the real world. Or they might put a little copper in their system or keep an eye on WYSIWYG fish to see if they exhibit disease, but that's nothing like a proper QT. Essentially the same result you'd get with a decent LFS.

OP: TSM Aquatics/Marine Collectors is only place I know of currently to get fully QTd fish with a stellar reputation.
