Good place to buy fish?

I'm looking to add a couple fish to my tank this weekend I live in blackwood and my not so great anymore LFS has nothing. So I thought of heading out this weekend to look for some fish does anyone know of a good place to get fish?
Hidden reef?
Fish factory?
I don't mind to travel within reason

Stay away from both places. I was at both last weekend and they had nothing worth while. I'm heading to either ACC or AO this weekend for some fish.

Most of my fish have come from your local store, which I'm guessing you're referring to as the not so great anymore LFS. I've found they usually have descent quality livestock. Unless you're looking for the more rarer fish, they usually get in most other fish eventually. It's been a few months since I've been there last, so hopefully they didn't go down hill.

I'm guessing you have a few fish in mind, but they didn't have them in stock. Been there. I'm not sure there's many options down our way, but you could call JB Tropical Fish, Williamstown (little mom & pop place, if they're still there), Value Pets, Pennsauken (can't say what the quality is like, haven't been in a few years, but they're local) & possibly Paradise Pets, Westampton (not the cleanest place, but occationally they have a gem) to see if they have what you're looking for.

I hear ya, I do too but live aquaria has a 14 day guarantee so to me that's pretty good. Plus they have a lot of really good feedback.

I am talking about the same place it just seems that the fish to pick from has dropped off and there coral selection has to or maybe it's just me I don't think the same people are in charge anymore last year the tanks were always stocked with great looking fish
I will check out the other places thanks for the info

LiveAquaria has an amazing guarantee. usually no questions asked if you experience any difficulties. As much as i trust LiveAquaria, it's always good to quarantine the fish and during that time you can sense the fishes health.

It's hard to go wrong with live aquaria. When you start factoring in gas to drive to the shops up north the shipping isn't too bad. If being home for delivery is an issue have it delivered for pickup at a ups hub. There is one over in woodcrest. You can even avoid the Saturday delivery charge by picking it up at ups. If you want to make the run up north AO has nice stuff and elos isn't that much further.

I'm headed to ACC today to see what they have they usually have some nice fish. If you make the run up north you can check AO, then ACC, then Trop, that will get you head spinning, LOL

I'm heading out today too. Just not sure if I'm going north or east.

I suggest we all keep in touch and let each other know who has what.

Use liveaquaria. They have a guarantee and are very good about replacement if needed. Also I know this may sound crazy but check out petco online. I think it said they have a 30 day guarantee. I have never ordered from petco yet but might try for some of the "cheaper" fish. (I am planning on adding a school of chromis, like the way the look lol)
