    Where does everyone buy there fish?
    LFS
    Reputable online source
    Craigslist

    Do you think its safe to buy some fish from this person/store on EBay?
    eBay Seller: reefs2go: Pet Supplies items on eBay.com

    If you buy online can you point me to some really good quality sites?

    Also looking for Live rock too!

    Thanks!

    I get mine online, because I don't have an LFS within 30 miles of me. Got one just starting to put it together so I will check him out soon.

    I haven't used him. His ratings are ok not what I would consider great. Probably ok.

    I get my fish from my lfs. I don't like to ship fish, plus, I like to pick them out in person to ensure they are eating and look to be in good health.
