buying fish online

[jrjackson]

so was wondering if there was a good online store to buy fish. looking for personal experiences before i order from online

While I've never ordered fish online, I read numerous accounts of Live Aquaria being setting the standard as far as this is concerned.

Live aquaria. I've placed my 1st order with them last month. I would definitely order from them again. I had a fish DOA and a couple die less then 24hrs after receiving them they credited my credit card ASAP.

I have used Live Aquaria, Blue Zoo Aquatics, Aquatic Connection and Reefs 2 Go. Never had a problem with any one of them and if anything did not make it they have all always credited.

Live Aquaria probably has the best selection I have seen and I have never recieved a coral with a pest on it.

Blue Zoo everything came healthy no pests.

Aquatic connection I have had a Saturday delivery disaster due to a Fedex screw up. Pretty much everything died cause I could not pick it up till Monday night. They replaced everything promptly.

Reefs 2 Go I have never had a problem with, but they are best to call to make sure things are in stock that you are looking for. I used to order pods from them for my mandarin.

If I can't find it local, Live Aquaria is amazing and Pacific Island Aquatics is a very very close second.

Live Aquaria is awesome. Also ViviAquariums is good but the free shipping price is mivh higher than Live Aquaria.

(now I want to order some fish)

I've had good luck with fish from Live Aquaria and Pacific East. I haven't lost a fish from PacEast, but relatively many from Live Aquaria... Yes, they always credit, but I don't like animals dieing on their way to me. I've since switched to LFS. You can see them eat first, etc.

I used PetSolutions.com in the past with no issues. My nephew use to order from SaltWaterFish.com and had no issues.
I do agree with Matt, first try and support the independent LFS.

I have ordered from saltwaterfish.com, blue zoo, and live aquaria. I have never had a fish loss from swf. I have had fish die from live aquaria and blue zoo. They credited me quickly. I try the LFS first, but I often do not have any luck.

If you're looking for a different one, saltyunderground is pretty good. It's the only one ive used
