I've had a great experience with one of our sponsors here, Richard at Mobile Aquatic. I highly recommend him for some of the great hard to get specimens he brings in, and will surely be doing business with him again: https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/f18/mobile-aquatic-31835.html

I have bought from both saltwaterfish.com and aquacon. SWF.com is great.....however I got burned badly by aquacon. Bought a WYSIWYG picasso clown and got a common picasso and not what they had pictured. Very frustrating... I called and sent emails and they have ignored me, removed the pics from their site.
I wouldn't recommend aquacon to anybody! Beware....this is a warning.

if you buy from Live Aquaria, you're getting freshly imported fish from the wholesalers.
The bonus of Divers Den is that the fish are conditioned for weeks and sometimes months before they are sold so you know you're getting a fish that is used to a captive environment..
What's great about Richard is you usually have the choice. A great price on a fish that may be a newer import and you can condition and QT or the choice to pay a little more for a conditioned, eating and healthy fish that's been in a healthy home system for a few weeks/months which, IMO, is well worth the $1-200 extra which is basically the price of the food, time, care and electricity to hold the fish...

The Reef Hot Spot, Blue Zoo, NY Aquatics, i have got stuff from all 3 of these and still have them today... great packing from all 3 too. NY Aquatics really did a nice job packing on about 40 fish we got in a group order. i would use them again and not think twice about it.
also we used Reef Kingdom for a few coral group orders and have had some real nice stuff come from David @ Reef Kingdom. nice stuff too ..

Diver's Den at LiveAquaria has been great to me. Recently order from the Collector's Choice section of Blue Zoo Aq and was very happy with the fish I received. Oh yeah, don't forget about Rich at Mobile if you want some crazy rare freakazoid Beverly Hills style fish. I mean that in a very positive way.
