Pet Solutions, Blue Zoo Aquatics, Live Aquaria & N.Y. Aquatic are 4 good, reputable sites, I have purchased from all 4 with great sucess.
Cultivated Reef for corals, Holly's frags are small & pricey but extremely impressive. |

I've had good orders from Blue Zoo Aquatics, Live Aquaria, N.Y. Aquatics and ZoaCollector. I have not ordered from saltwaterfish.com, but they do not have good reviews so I would be very cautious of them.

Buying Fish Online
Quote:
Saltwaterfish.com annoyed me this week with the terms of their guarantee. I placed an order on Tuesday for several fish and they were offering a free fish with a $149 order as part of this week’s deal. When my order arrived on Thursday two of the fish, including the free fish were DOA. I then discovered that their guarantee does not cover promotional fish, so even though I was promised a free fish with my order (and, in fact, that was the reason I chose to order from saltwaterfish.com) they will do nothing to replace the fish or credit my account when it arrived DOA. I do not plan to order from them again. |

LiveAquaria/Divers Den (best guarantee), NYAquatic (I can pick up locally) and BlueZoo in that order; though all are good and I'd not hesitate to buy from any of them.

If you have never ordered online before I would suggest Liveaquaria/Divers Den. The money back guarantee is the only of its kind and they have the best customer service around. NYAQUATICS is also good
