bluezooaquatics and vividaquariums are probably the only other two I'd visit.

Yes, but personal experience from the vendors is also a good thing. I personally would avoid Reef Hot Spot except for the WYSIWYG section. But maybe I was unique in my bad experience with them (didn't buy corals, only fish, anemone, and some CUC). The ones mentioned above have been referenced before as good vendors.

agreed, but if you dont like some of the vendors on here, then let them know in their forum, not the new to the hobby, im sure rc would remove any vendors who didnt live up to their promises, and vendors who are not sponsors shouldnt get publicity imo, its not fair on the vendors who pay for the site fees.

The question was asking for recommended online fish stores. I was merely giving my personal recommendations. I also see no reason to limit answers to sponsors. They pay for advertisement on the site and they receive it.
