Where can I buy fish online that are disease free guaranteed and that have been quarantined prior to purchase? I'm not a retailer and it would seem that A and M requires me to be licensed to purchase from them. I'm sick of paying high retail prices for poor quality fish and a very limited selection with a 3x mark up
 
TSM, Dr. Reef, Marine Collectors. I’ve heard great things about the first one. Haven’t used any myself.
 
Based on what I’ve read on this site stay away from live aquaria and saltwater fish.com, although I don’t think they quarantine anyways.
 
Check Out Dr. Reef in Tulsa - You have to plan ahead and be patient, but it is well worth it. Least expensive and healthiest quarantined fish I've seen. Seems to do a great job with sizing requests. I asked for a 4" Blue Tang that would be the last of the fish in my 90. The fish arrived and was almost perfect. I received a quality 4" quarantined Blue Tang for was $130. Not bad these days. (Plus $54 shipping, but I adding some other stuff I needed anyway to justify the shipping cost) It did take about 2 months and a couple of phone calls, but it was well worth the tame and effort.
 
Reef beautys
They are a good online retailer and I have had great success with fish from them, however, they don’t quarantine as the OP was asking. Though they do have a 15 day guarantee on non-expert fish.
 
I have a tank full of fish from Marine Collectors @Marine Collectors , Elliott has been great to work with. Not cheap by any stretch, but quality is top notch and always eating well. His quarantine regimen is spelled out on his site.

 
TSM quarantines at least 4 weeks and treats for parasites. Fish are always eating and pest free. I’ve been hesitant to use Marine collectors since they are on West Coast and I am in NJ. Anyone have experience with them shipping to east coast?
 
Fish hotel!!! Ocean Devotion!! - best for me
 
I've had great success with marine collectors. Might be the priciest option but quality has been very good everytime

If your not a retail company, why do you ask about licenses? I'm unsure about your query but it's only
Retail company's that pass on diseases through the aquarium life we purchase
