buying fish online?

Can someone please recommend a good website to purchase saltwater fish from? I've never purchased fish online and want to be sure I purchase them from a reputable dealer. Thanks to all!

 

saltwaterfish.com They have 15 day guarentee and have been excellent about replacing livestock for me when it dies/DOA. They have great prices and every now and then run good deals. I would recommend joining their mailing list because of the deals.

 

liveaquaria.com or divers den off of liveaquaria. They have a 14 day guarantee and I have never heard anything bad. Their policy is no questions asked, so if something dies, they don't badger for information

 

+1 for liveaquaria. vividaquariums.com is also a good place.

 

Definetly liveaquaria

 

+1 for liveaquaria again

LiveAquaria is good, I just received some female anthias for my male today. They look great. Divers Den is a What you see is what you get section of Liveaquaria. Those fish are pampered! They have them eating like crazy when you get them shipped.

The nice thing about Liveaquaria is you can have your money back to your card, vs a credit, unless youd like a credit.

Most sites throw a credit back at you. so your stuck with them again. So If you dont have a kosher experience with them its hard to want to use the credit but left with a feeling of wasted money.

My Chevron tang came from Petsolutions.com. and a few of my firefish. Their fish are decent. but like stated above you get your money back to the card when providing a picture of the deceased if that where to happen!

VividAquarium Does this as well. great site to work with.

I have ordered from Saltwaterfish. and have yet to get a healthy specimen. Just my two cents with bouncing my credit around over and over and over. and having to spend more on top of my credit to use it. This was over a year ago, So things change not sure cause I havent used them lately. So Might be a good site?

Bluezooaquatics.com is supposably a reputable fish dealer. I have gotten some coral from them and was quite pleased with them.

Reefhotspot as well was pretty good to work with for coral, I know a few people who have gotten fish but no complaints.

I believe all the sites above i listed have a 14-15 day guarantee on their livestock, except bluezoo, i think thats 7 days.

 

Liveaquaria.com and Diver's Den (the best!)
Reef hot spot
Vivid Aquariums
Blue zoo aquatics
Barrier Reef Aquariums (my LFS)
Triton's Garden

 

I like bluezooaquatics.com

However, for buying fish I prefer to go to my LFS's and see the health and fish first. When you buy on-line you get someone who just grabs one to fill an order.

Just my opinion.

 

LiveAquaria.com has never done me wrong. Fish are ALWAYS healthy.
