Where to buy?

[Jaz]

Does anyone know of a reliable site online to buy fish, corals, etc. with decent pricing? Or perhaps a good local store in the Dallas/Ft Worth, Texas area?

Online you should look at Live Aquaria for fish. As far as corals go, we've got some awesome sponsors on here like Sexy Corals, Reef Raft USA, Reef Pets , and others.

Awesome! Thank you!

I have purchased a number of fish from liveaquaria, and especially if you buy multiple fish at once, they offer great deals. The flam angel, coral beauty and bicolor blenny were all spectacular specimens.

I've not ordered a tremendous amount on line, but I will say that Unique Corals and Cherry Corals both who are sponsors of this site are excellent. Scott from Unique Corals is exceptional and his customer service is top shelf!

I just received my first order from Blue Zoo Aquatics on Saturday. Medium juvenile dragon wrasse, juvenile naso tang, golden head sleeper goby, orange spotted watchman goby, lawnmower blenny. Shipping was free with just $140 in livestock vs. $225 at LiveAquaria. All fish arrived healthy and I did a long, slow drip acclimation followed by a bath in that two-part rapid quarantine (I am trying to figure out where I can put a real QT), then into the display tank. I haven't seen the sleeper goby since he went in - I assume he is hiding in the rock or sandbed. The naso and dragon have already made themselves at home and are swimming around actively and feeding. The watchman goby has built himself a burrow and comes out now and then, and the lawnmower blenny is intermittently out and about. So far so good. Only complaint is that the naso is a little smaller than I expected.

What's the guarantee like with them?

Bluezooaquatics, LiveAquaria and AquaSD are my favorite three!

Locally I mainly shop at Neptune's Cove, which is also a sponsor on here. Dallas North Aquarium is a nice store but more expensive than most. Fish2morrow and Franks Tanks in ft worth are good stores. Check out dfwmas.org for a list of all the local stores. The club also puts on a big 1 day event called next wave which includes speakers and a room full of coral vendors. This year it is in May.
